"We accomplished something so special. I know I've got a different uniform on but I still love each and every one of you guys."
Freddie Freeman got the standing ovation her deserved from Atlanta Braves fans in his first game back since the World Series Win and the Championship parade. He talked before the game about how hard the weekend would be and that he knew he's cry.
He couldn't hold back the emotion as he looked at his WS ring and talked to fans in Truist Park that were on their feet and whisper quiet, to hear every word. His wife and family were crying in the stands as well as he spoke.
Freeman spent 15 years with the Braves organization and 12 in Atlanta. The 32-year-old is producing for his new team The Dodgers. He's batting with 8 HRs. He's also responsible for 45 RBIs and is 3rd in the NL All-Star voting for basemen.
He is so missed in Atlanta but we have such a grateful feeling for him and his contribution to the City of Atlanta and it's fans!
