After setting World Series records by hitting a home run in the first four games, including a grand slam to end Game 1, the series MVP award was an easy choice.
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman had 12 RBIs in the World Series. He hit a home run in each of the first four games, including a grand slam in the 10th inning to end Game 1. None of those things had been done before since the World Series was first staged in 1901.Ultimately, Freeman was an easy choice for the World Series Most Valuable Player award, presented on the field after the Dodgers beat the New York Yankees 7-6 to claim their eighth championship in franchise history.
Told at the time he suffered the injury that it typically requires a 4- to 6-week recovery timeframe, Freeman attempted to return to the Dodgers' lineup 10 days later for the National League Division Series.Although he was in and out of the lineup for the first two rounds of the postseason — a five-game NLDS victory over the San Diego Padres and a six-game NLCS victory over the New York Mets — Freeman did not resemble his usual self at the plate until the World Series.
