Freddie Freeman FF5 Appreciation Thread

[Stifle]

If all the hits / moments he has accumulated, which moment would be his most iconic if a Freeman video were shown ? This is why baseball is so great, when the best rise at the biggest moments, outside of Judge & Betts.

I think the picture of him catching the throw for the last out of the World Series is a great photo. All he did was catch the throw on that play, but his joy and excitement really came through.

^^This is right there at the top of MLB’s iconic moments not just FF’s. He had huge hits in 2021 including game 6 (clinching WS and his last Braves game). To me it’s his arms out after the final out in 2021. I actually have a t shirt and hoodie with that on it.

That’s a great pic too, but I had this one in mind. I could have sworn that Topps used this on some SSP card, but I could be wrong

I think the SSP may be an Opening Day. The Blabbin' Boys would know, I think Chris has a copy.

Some weird photo shopping on this card. Look at his right foot, looks like it is superimposed over a home plate.

No. The Braves were the visitor when they clinched the WS in 2021.

Freedie Freeman will forever be remembered as a Dodger. Yesterday's game winning grand slam made it clear.

I'll start with I am not a Dodgers fan. Having said that, he goes in as a Dodger unless the HOF forces him to have the Braves hat.

Nobody remembers what Freeman did in Atlanta. Freeman was good in Atlanta but what significant moments did he have?

He was an all star 3 of the 12 seasons in Atlanta, he has been an all star with the Dodgers 3 seasons and has been with them 3 seasons.

Like I said, I am not a Dodgers fan but he goes in as Dodgers. He also chose to leave Atlanta for the Dodgers for whatever that is worth.

Not only is your opinion wrong your facts are as well:

-He was a 5x All-Star in Atlanta not 3. And he certainly would’ve been one in 2020 if there was an All-Star Game.

Also to boot:

-MVP in Atlanta.
-World Series in Atlanta.
-Gold Glove in Atlanta.
-3x Silver Slugger in Atlanta.
-Babe Ruth Award in Atlanta.
-Hank Aaron Award in Atlanta.
-All-MLB First Team in Atlanta.
-2x All-MLB Second Team in Atlanta.

I think if he had it his way he’ll go in Panini style like Greg Maddux.

My favorite card they’ve done with this is the 2021 Topps Now Card of the Month. They quietly put the best picture from that year on the back of the card.

He had the unfortunate luck of being in the same league as Paul Goldschmidt in terms of All Star selections.

My mistake on the stats and i appreciate posting all his stats. I still believe he will go in as a Dodger and be remembered most as a Dodger.

The problem is he’s already 35 years old. If there’s a decline like there is with most players (although if anyone is immune I think it’s a player with a hitting profile like Freddie’s) the majority of his best seasons would be as a Brave.

Lot of recency bias going on here.

When Freddie's career is all said and done, he's going to be remembered as a Braves legend. And at worst, he's remembered as both. But he won't be remembered solely as a Dodger.

Freddie was the leader of the turnaround for Atlanta, finishing the rise back to the top of the NL that the Baby Braves started. And he led them to their first WS ring in 25ish years. One WS grand slam does erase 12 years of being Atlanta.

[NYRE2PECT]

ATL all the way, imho.

Albert Pujols says hello.

I say this with no ill will: Freddie was THE guy in Atlanta. He's just A guy in LA
