While talking about his bobblehead, Freddie Freeman said:

"Oh, that's a good one. They got the bat pose and everything. Stoic face. I really, really like this. I think Charlie, my kids are going to really have fun with this one."

"Come out for my bobblehead night. Hope to see you there," he said to the fans.

Freddie Freeman’s grand slam on Oct. 25 got a dramatic 6-3 victory for the Dodgers. With two outs and the bases loaded, Freeman crushed a first-pitch fastball from former Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes into the right-field stands, sending Dodger Stadium into a frenzy.

The moment drew immediate comparisons to Kirk Gibson’s legendary 1988 World Series heroics at the same ballpark.
