After a fantastic final series against the legendary New York Yankees, the Los Angeles Dodgers are confident of becoming champions of the best baseball league in the world. After going through a difficult time, Freddie Freeman becomes an unlikely hero.
The MLB Finals Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees, two of the largest and most prestigious baseball teams in the world, is destined to bring excitement. Have a great game. She kept her promise. In the end, the Dodgers won 4-1. But because of this, it's never boring.
The first game in history is over: From the Dodgers' perspective, the score is 2-3 in overtime, Freddie Freeman hits a grand slam, and the final score is 6-3. In baseball, when there are players on all three bases and four runs are scored, it's called a home run. It was the first major to win the “World Series,” the playoff finals of the best league in the world.
However, the stunning home run was just the beginning of a great series – for Freddie Freeman as well. The 35-year-old fired the ball into the stands once in each of the next three games. In the second final game, he was one of four players to hit a home run as the Dodgers won 4-2. After Los Angeles beat New York 4-2 in Game 1, the Yankees breathed a sigh of relief as they won 11-4.
Game 5 takes place at Yankee Stadium and it looks like the home team will once again be confident of a victory. After three innings, they were already up 5-0, thanks in part to a home run from superstar Aaron Judge, who had barely appeared before. But then the Bronx suffered a horror inning. The Dodgers tied the game with five runs in the fifth thanks to errors including Judge dropping an easy catch.
As a result, the Yankees took the lead again, but the visiting team rewritten the score to 7-6 in the penultimate inning of the eighth inning. Thanks to Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler, who was already strong in the first game and struck out the last two. This requires three strikes, i.e. throws into the allowed area but without hitting the batsman.
The famous hero of the MLB championship was Freddie Freeman, who started the “World Series” with an injured ankle. Freeman came to Los Angeles from Atlanta before the start of the 2022 season, signed a six-year contract worth $162 million, and has been named the Finals MVP. However, superstar Shohei Ohtani's performance in the series remained lackluster: the 30-year-old Japanese player only managed two hits and two runs in five games. «This means everything to me! But I wouldn’t be here without the support of everyone who wears this jersey,” said Freeman, who actually preferred to stay in Atlanta two years ago.
He won a championship with the Warriors before leaving and was named the regular-season player of the year a year ago. When he first returned to his old job with the Dodgers, he broke down in tears during press conferences and as Atlanta Braves fans loudly celebrated him before games. But he also showed great performance in Los Angeles. Off the field, however, he's been going through a rough patch, especially over the past few months.
His three-year-old son was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare neurological disorder. Then in July, he became completely paralyzed, which is why Freeman took a break from the sport. However, his son's condition improved, and Freeman returned to the Dodgers in early August. Then become the hero who wins the legendary franchise's eighth title.
