Freddie Freeman made wild World Series history for the Dodgers in Game 4 against the Yankees.

As the rain fell steadily at Yankee Stadium before the start of Game 4 of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees, Freddie Freeman entered the record books.

Freeman hit a home run in his first at-bat of the game, marking his sixth straight Fall Classic game with a home run. This streak began in 2021 with the Atlanta Braves and includes a homer in every game of the series this year.

He also became the first player to homer in the first four games of a single World Series.

Freeman’s blast followed Mookie Betts’ double in the first inning, giving the Dodgers the lead in their quest to overtake the Yankees for the World Series title.

Freeman was the driving force behind the Dodgers’ dominant 3-0 lead in the World Series and became one of only three players in World Series history to homer in each of the first three games, joining the team with his first home run on Monday. Yankees legend Hank Bauer (1958) and Giants slugger Barry Bonds (2002).

“I couldn’t ask for a better start in these three games,” Freeman said after Game 3. “But we have another one to go through.”

Freeman finished Monday’s game 1-for-3 with a walk and entered Tuesday hitting .333 with three homers, seven RBIs and a 1.635 OPS in the World Series.

“I think I see the ball really well,” Freeman said. “Obviously we are not missing any mistakes, hopefully we can continue like this. We have one more.”

Even though Yankees manager Aaron Boone talked about how well Freeman could see the ball, he still got starter Lucas Gil to challenge the left-handed batter.

“Obviously, we all know how great of a player Freddie Freeman is,” Boone said after his team’s loss on Monday. “He makes the swing that Freddie is usually used to seeing, although it may not have happened in earlier rounds due to injury.”

Freeman’s performance in the World Series was incredible and should earn him the title of Series MVP. Remarkably, he managed to achieve all this while dealing with a sprained right ankle.

Freeman was in and out of the lineup frequently throughout the NLDS and NLCS, clearly affected by injury, but it doesn’t seem to be bothering him anymore.
