Despite Shohei Ohtani shining as the Los Angeles Dodgers’ big star, the most coveted bobblehead of the MLB season belongs, against all odds, to another player on the team and it is Freddie Freeman.
The frenzy in Los Angeles is unleashed! Against all odds, Freddie Freeman‘s bobblehead immortalizing his heroic grand slam in the World Series is crowned as the most ardently sought-after treasure in MLB
The madness doesn’t stop there, as the Dodgers dominate with an incredible 16 of the 25 most valuable bobbleheads of the season bearing their stamp, an absolutely enviable number
Freddie returned from his ankle injury on Friday, coinciding with the delivery of his bobblehead to the first 40,000 fans, who spent an average of $145 per ticket, a preseason record. Those in attendance at the game against the Cubs were eager to go home and place Freeman on their shelves.
Freddie Freeman finally returns to action
Freeman missed the start of the season with the Dodgers due to a right ankle injury that he had been carrying since March, after a domestic accident. Despite his absence, the Los Angeles team managed to maintain its competitive pace and continue to rack up victories
“I feel better than ever since I got injured. Better than before the series against the Detroit Tigers… I feel really good. I’m sorry to say it, but maybe I needed those 10 days,”Freddie said after his return against the Cubs
After his last performance on March 29 against the Tigers, where he shone with a home run in the 7-3 victory, Freeman is back and claims to be in great shape.
