I'm guessing Freeman won World Series MVP? Didn't stay up for the ceremonies.
was the unanmoius MVP. His 12 RBIs tied the record set by Bobby Richardson with the Yankees in 1960.
And that 1960 series went seven games and, despite losing the series, the Yankees scored the most runs ever in a series with 55. So for Freeman to tie Richardson in only five games is incredible.
Another fun fact about that series. Pittsburgh hit a Homerun in the first game and last game with ZERO in between.
Oh it's the most fascinating World Series ever. The Yankees outscored the Pirates 55-27 but lost the series. Their wins were blowouts (16-3, 10-0, 12-0), and their loses were all by three runs or less, including losing game 7 10-9 on the Mazeroski walk-off. And Richardson, despite being on the losing team, was voted MVP. I wonder if there's a support group for him, Chuck Howley (Super Bowl 5 MVP), and Jerry West (1969 Finals MVP).
