David Freese
He was the 2011 World Series MVP
Freese's journey to MLB success was not without its challenges. After initially declining a college baseball scholarship, he took a break from the sport before rediscovering his passion. He played at St. Louis Community College–Meramec and later transferred to the University of South Alabama, where his talent caught the attention of MLB scouts. The San Diego Padres selected him in the ninth round of the 2006 MLB Draft, but it was with the St. Louis Cardinals that Freese would make his mark, debuting in 2009 and becoming a key player in their 2011 championship run.
In addition to his time with the Cardinals, Freese also played for the Los Angeles Angels, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Los Angeles Dodgers. Injuries, particularly back issues, affected his consistency, but he remained a valuable player throughout his career. In 2012, Freese was selected to his first MLB All-Star Game, and he continued to contribute to his teams with solid hitting and leadership. His 20-game hitting streak in 2013 was another testament to his skill, though his effectiveness was somewhat limited by injuries in the later stages of his career.
Freese retired from professional baseball after the 2019 season, having left an indelible mark on the sport. His legacy, particularly his unforgettable 2011 postseason performance, continues to be celebrated by fans and analysts alike.
