It might be fated to join some of the game's most elusive souvenirs -- the famed home-run balls of Bobby Thomson and Kirk Gibson are missing, too.
Freese hit. Pretty nifty, considering he's played only games in the majors over three years. Freese is off to nice start in spring training, batting. He said he's been able to build off his accomplishments that helped rally the Cardinals past Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Texas in the final month. You're happy that you succeeded in that situation," he said. You've got to learn to embrace those moments. A model car was on the infield during the Cardinals' celebration, and a couple of weeks ago he claimed the real thing.
Or rather, his father did. Freese hit. But the three runs he drove in during Game 6 — one of which came on a walkoff home run in the 11th inning — will make him a legend for life in St. Without Freese's two-out, two-strike, two-run triple in the ninth inning, followed by his walkoff shot two innings later, the Cardinals aren't playing a Game 7 for a championship.
In Game 7, after falling behind in the first inning, Freese made Rangers left-hander Matt Harrison pay for walking Pujols and Lance Berkman with a two-run double to left-center field that tied the score. The Cardinals never trailed again.
Watch his big hit in Game 7. As part of his grand prize package, Freese received a Chevy Corvette. All for hitting a little ball.
If anyone could do it, Freese could. His MVP honors capped off a tremendous postseason for him. His three-run homer in the first inning of the deciding Game 6 might as well have been a knockout blow. He also broke the record for most extra-base hits with runners in scoring position for a single postseason.
Pretty impressive for a guy who decided to quit baseball after high school. And certainly not bad at all for a player who played in only 70 games last season due to ankle injuries after winning the starting third base job.
Freese was also limited to 92 games this season because of a broken hand. A relative unknown outside of Cardinal Nation, little was expected from Freese.
But like his team, he surpassed whatever predictions were made and seized the attention of a national audience with a standout performance. Many people know who David Freese is now. And they all want a ride home. Other popular stories on Yahoo! This lucky MVP took home a C8 way before anyone else got theirs.
Steven Strasburg is a very tall man. I am not sure how this Washington National will fit into this vehicle. Look at this image. The roof is at his hip. The World Series was one for the ages. This was one of the first times the World Series was played in a neutral field, attendance was limited, rosters changed frequently from positive Covid tests. Corey Seager of the LA Dodgers overcame all of the adversities he faced to earn the keys to the newly restyled Chevy Tahoe.
I hope Chevy continues this tradition forever. But I wish they diversified the vehicle choice a bit. Surely some of these players have families. Why not gift them a 15 passenger Express van? Equip it with the optional 6. That's equivalent to one C8 Corvette. Tim Rodie. David Olsen-Fabian. Toofast Max. Mark Holgate. Rachael Hogg. Valentina Testa. Jane Fyffe. Fun Stuff.
