For Dodgers Freddy Freiman, many external seasons were a stir
The second step of each program is approximately 12 steps that “we have come to believe that the great power of ourselves can bring us back to the mind.”
For a Dodgers fans, this “power” came in the form of the first -rule man Freddy Freeman, presented by Grand Slam in the tenth -half of the World Series 1 game over New York Yankees last October.
“He was a man telling me at a lunch” during the Dodgers community last week, “he gave up drinking that night because he just wanted to be present with his children.”
“They were in the right -field pregnant women, and he did not drink that entire game, and he has not drunk since then because of his present with his children. These are the stories that give me chills. These are the types of things that sport can do.”
Freeman left the dramatic championship of the Grand Slam, one of the four of the Homers he achieved to win the most valuable players in World World Series five games on Yankees, an indelible sign of Dodgers fans, some literally.
Freeman said that he faced a fans in Orange County this winter “who had a new tattoo for me as he was holding my beating”, hitting Feriman, the famous leaving the mixture box, and his major heroines rose in the seats of the right center field. In FanFest on Saturday, the leg of fans who tattooed the tip.
“You realize that sports mean a lot to people,” said Freeman. “When there is playing and fans, you feel it. But when you communicate with these fans, they tell you how much it means to them, then they explain to you how much this means for them, it’s really cool.
“I think this is so amazing that people will pass pain to put me on their body.”
No dodgers player did not bear more pain – physically and mentally – while the team is running to the world qualifiers and series.
He missed all the stars eight times in late July and early August, while his 3 -year -old son, Maximus, fought a life -threatening case from Ghailan Barry syndrome, a rare neurological condition in which the body’s immune system attacks the nerves.
Freeman suffered from a very right twisting in the last week of the normal season, and he needed hours of pre -treatments and multiple injections of medicines that stimulate pain to be able to take the stadium during the qualifiers.
Feriman also revealed after the world series that he played throughout October with the breakdown of cartilage on his sixth side, an injury that was diagnosed two days before the post -season and the margin players are usually for several months.
The rib cage was injured, and Freeman said on Saturday that his son was “fine.” But the ankle injury was more problematic and Freiman will slow down this spring.
Freeman, a 15 -year -old older warrior who enters the fourth year of a six -year contract worth 162 million dollars, believed that the ankle would improve with physical therapy, comfort, tendons and ligaments in the joint healing on their own.
But after three weeks of the world series, when Freeman was in Georgia for Thanksgiving, Freeman said that swelling and ankle discomfort “did not go away.” “I was like,” something incorrect. “When I indicated the arrangement of the text Thomas Albert, the coach of our president, and said:” When I go home, let’s look at this. “
The examination unveiled a bone slice floating on Achilles chord, as well as many bone Tottenham. Freeman underwent surgery on November 30 to remove the chip and tower Tottenham.
Then eight weeks of surgery, Freiman swung for the first time on Thursday. He will start the movement of light movement by the end of this week, but he said that he would not start running until the first spring training exercise in Arizona on February 15.
Freeman said that he will be fell to the assigned striking for the first week or two exhibition games, but Slugger has been confident that it will serve as a whole series of opening period for the normal season from 18 to 19 March against Chicago Coples in Tokyo.
“I feel in good condition,” said Freeman. “I am on the right track.”
Surgery and rehabilitation barely put inhibitors on a three -month festive season for Feriman, which first included November late at night on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, which is the appearance as a presenter in the rural music awards in Nashville, and an interview with Travis and Jason Kelis on the new highlands .
“He was crazy,” said Freeman. We did a lot of celebration when we got home after winning. It was fun. While I am abroad and do my things in society, I do not think I have succeeded in one picnic without someone coming [to congratulate me]. This distinguishes this.
“When people tell me what they mean to them, win the world chain and run the house, this is special. It is clear that many went to last year for me. Many of the speeds that we hit along the way. And to make it end like that, it was special.”
The 2024 season ended with a celebration of a celebration of the champagne and the battery at the visitor club at the Yankee Stadium, but for Dodgers fans, the search for sobriety began.
Freeman said: “It is clear that the episodes and championships, and this is what we are going, but in order to be able to influence life as we were able to do it in 2024, and for this reason the sport plays.” “You can change people’s lives and create memories.”
