Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was named the 2024 World Series MVP on Wednesday evening, cementing his place in MLB history in a season that has been anything but easy for the slugger.
It was the inevitable result when all was said and done, after the Dodgers topped their longtime rivals in the New York Yankees in five games, but prior to the series it wasn't even clear if Freeman was going to be on the postseason roster.Freeman, now 35, suffered an ankle sprain so severe he was sidelined for the team's final road trip, leaving his status as a massive question mark heading into October.
The string of four games in the 2024 World Series, combined with the final two games of the 2021 World Series when he was with the Atlanta Braves, topped a record previously set by former-Houston Astro George Springer. Freeman finished the World Series with six hits, four of which were home runs, and tying a World Series record with 12 RBIs — all of which came while he was operating at a much lesser level than he would've with his ankle injury.
