Freddie Freeman made history during Game 3 of the 2024 World Series, leading the Dodgers to a commanding victory over the New York Yankees. With a powerful two-run homer off Clarke Schmidt, Freeman tied the record for the most consecutive World Series games with a home run, matching George Springer’s streak of five. Despite playing through a sprained ankle, Freeman’s performance underscored his status as one of the game’s elite players, making him a frontrunner for World Series MVP.

The Yankees, playing in front of their home crowd at Yankee Stadium, were left reeling from Freeman’s early blast, which set the tone for a 2-0 lead. This home run was part of a broader power surge from Freeman, who had already hit game-changing homers in the first two games of the series. His grand slam in Game 1 against Nestor Cortes and a solo homer in Game 2 off Carlos Rodon demonstrated his ability to rise to the occasion in critical moments.

Freeman’s contributions are pivotal as the Dodgers push for a championship, with their lineup, including stars like Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts, delivering key moments. As the Yankees face the daunting task of overcoming a 3-0 series deficit—a feat no team has ever achieved in World Series history—Freeman’s dominance remains a central storyline.
