Freddie Freeman Named World Series MVP

Freddie Freeman was named the 2024 World Series MVP after leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 7-6 victory over the New York Yankees in Game 5. Despite nursing an ankle injury earlier in the postseason, he achieved remarkable feats, including hitting four home runs and tying the record for the most RBIs in a World Series with 12, matching Bobby Richardson's record from 1960, but in just five games. Freeman's performance also included a historic walk-off grand slam in Game 1, marking the first of its kind in World Series history. He became the first player to hit homers in the first four games of the World Series and extended his streak to six consecutive games with a home run. With a .300 batting average and an OPS of 1.364, Freeman's contributions solidified his status as a key player in the series, leading to his second World Series championship. This remarkable postseason run follows his previous triumph with the Atlanta Braves in 2021.
