His performance has been crucial in the Dodgers' journey toward a possible eighth title, also setting a record for the franchise by hitting home runs in four consecutive postseason games, surpassing Bill Madlock.
Additionally, with nine runs batted in so far in the World Series, Freeman has set a new record for the Dodgers, surpassing legends like Gil Hodges and Duke Snider. Even NBA player LeBron James showed his admiration for Freeman's talent by praising him in a tweet, highlighting the admiration he inspires in other sports stars due to his incredible performance.
With each home run, Freeman not only builds his legacy in baseball but also brings the Dodgers closer to glory in a World Series that has captivated the attention of the sports world.
