Freddie Freeman sends message to MVP Fern Valenzuela

freddie freeman sends message to mvp fern valenzuela

Before the World Series began, Fernando Valenzuela dying was news that rocked the MLB and Mexican baseball.

His death hit the Los Angeles Dodgers the hardest, as that was where Valenzuela became a star in the 1980s.

Freddie Freeman was crowned the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the Fall Classic. The Dodgers baseman delivered 12 of the team’s 25 runs in the final and hit four homers, including one in the first match to leave the New York Yankees on the field. 

After his award, Freeman talked about Fernando Valenzuela, who would have turned 64 on November 1st. 

“It’s hard to put into words. My stepmother is from Los Angeles, she grew up watching Fernando… what Fernando means in the city of Los Angeles and not only in Los Angeles, but for baseball fans around the world.

“I wish he was here. I’m glad he’s up there probably with my mom jumping up and down right now, so I’m glad we were able to bring it home. A little bittersweet, but I’m glad we were able to do it for Fernando and his family,” Freeman said.
