Former Braves Legend Shines Again as World Series Hero

Freddie Freeman, a former Atlanta Braves legend, showcased his exceptional talent once again during a thrilling Game 3 of the World Series. On Tuesday morning, Freeman hit a dramatic walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th inning, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-5 victory over their opponents.

Historic Moment in the World Series

This memorable performance follows Freeman’s crucial RBI single earlier in the game, which tied the score at 4-4 in the fifth inning. As of now, he boasts a .231 batting average and a .950 OPS, contributing to two RBIs and this vital home run. With this victory, the Dodgers take a 2-1 lead in the series and are just two wins away from back-to-back championships.

Freeman’s Championship Journey

Freeman previously made headlines in Game 1 of last year’s World Series, hitting a walk-off homer reminiscent of Kirk Gibson. That performance earned him the World Series MVP title. If the Dodgers secure the championship, it would mark Freeman’s third title overall.

From Braves to Dodgers

Before joining the Dodgers, Freeman dedicated 12 years to the Braves. During his time in Atlanta, he earned five All-Star selections, claimed the National League MVP title in 2020, and received a Gold Glove award in 2018. He played a key role in the Braves’ 2021 World Series victory, which was the franchise’s first championship since 1995. Notably, he caught the final out in Game 6 and hit a home run in his last at-bat as a Brave.

Freeman’s transition to the Dodgers came during a controversial offseason, but it has proven advantageous for him. He has experienced significant success in Los Angeles, contrasting with the ups and downs of his time in Atlanta.

Upcoming Series Details

As anticipation builds for Game 4, fans are eager to see if the Dodgers can extend their series lead. The game is scheduled for Tuesday evening at Dodgers Stadium, with first pitch set for 8 p.m.
