Hernandez praised witnessing Freddie’s sportsman spirit. He said it’s not just how well he played the game during the World Series but also the fact that he put himself under a lot of pressure that brought him to this position. In the end, he only had to wear his cleats and show up to represent his city and team.
How Did Freeman Manage To Recover?
Freeman himself said that the late start of the World Series gave him full time to recover. He got the biggest break by losing Game 5 of the NLCS which was played against New York Mets. The match forced the World Series league to start three days later, which allowed his ankle to recover properly. And that is how Freddie Freeman bagged the MVP trophy at the World Series.
How Did Other Team Mates React To Freddie’s Achievement?
Freddie’s teammates were also impressed, considering what he went through as a father and a player. Max Muncy, the Dodgers’ third baseman, said that Freddie’s achievement gave them everything. Freeman literally gave them his body and forgot about his ankle while making those home runs.
