Every baseball fan, including those of the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees, is eagerly awaiting Wednesday’s decisive Game 5 in the MLB World Series. With Freddie Freeman in top form, the Dodgers are aiming for the victory that would bring them the title, as LeBron James watches on after his own game against the Cavaliers.
After the unexpected result in Game 4, following three tightly contested matches, Dodgers fans are optimistic that Wednesday’s outcome will end their four-year wait to lift the Commissioner’s Trophy. Freeman seems poised to be the player to deliver that win.
Following Tuesday’s game, LeBron posted a message of praise for Freeman on his X account: “Freddy Freeman WE ARE NOT WORTHY.” The Dodgers star has indeed been in exceptional form this postseason, performing consistently through all four World Series games.
Fans, however, quickly pointed out a small error in LeBron’s message, noting he misspelled Freeman’s name. LeBron humorously responded: “*Freddie! Anyways, you’re a *** STUD! Finish y’all breakfast!”

Over the past four games of this World Series, Freeman has stepped up to the plate 21 times, achieving five hits and scoring four runs, each one from a home run in every game. These impressive stats have certainly caught the Yankees’ attention as they strategize to contain the Dodgers’ star.
Dodgers are counting on Freeman
If any player can make a difference in Game 5, it’s Freeman. Not only do his stats speak for themselves, but Freeman also exudes confidence, which has inspired the team throughout the series. Speaking to the media, he emphasized the trust and unity within the team, celebrating every successful play.
With Shohei Ohtani unfortunately sidelined due to injury, the Dodgers are relying on other key contributors who have proven effective throughout the MLB season. Even without Ohtani, Freeman’s impact could be decisive in helping the Dodgers claim their first title in four years.
