Freddie Freeman is one of the best players in the league. He played a huge part in last season’s world series triumph of the Atlanta Braves. In the absence of Ronald Acuna Jr., Freddie needed to lead his team, and he did.

After spending his entire career with the Braves, Freddie signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in free agency. He has been performing well for his new team.

Recently, Freeman returned to face the Atlanta Braves for the first time since leaving them. He received his championship ring in front of the fans that loved him throughout his career. Freddie got emotional, and rightly so because he loves Atlanta.

Freddie Freeman talked about his return, and said, “Last time I was on this field, there was a big stage in the middle of this field, because we accomplished something so special. From the bottom of my heart, and my family’s heart, we thank you for the support you’ve shown my family and I for the last twelve years.”
