"Our standards were very low" - When Freddie Freeman's wife Chelsea got real about why she kept WS hopes in check for Dodgers star

For LA Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman, the standard is pretty high despite the multiple injuries he has faced. Freeman had several injuries going into the 2024 postseason. His ankle was hurt during a regular season game in late September, and he reportedly broke his cartilage ahead of the NLDS clash with the San Diego Padres.

Despite the odds, Freeman would go on to homer in the first four games of the 2024 World Series against the Yankees, setting a record for most consecutive home runs in the World Series.

Ahead of Game 5 of the World Series in October, Freeman's wife Chelsea spoke about her husband exceeding expectations despite the injuries. For her, it was nothing short of a "miracle."

"The craziest thing is that he's hurt right now, so he's playing with a sprained ankle, and he had a fractured finger and all these other things. So our standards were very low," Chelsea said of her husband during an interview with Good Morning America.

"The fact that he's played as incredibly well as he is is just like an absolute miracle. It's really hard to even have words for the things that he's doing."

Freddie Freeman and the Dodgers would go on to win the World Series in Game 5. He was crowned the MVP after batting .300 with six hits, four homers, 12 RBIs and five runs scored.

It was Freeman's second World Series win, having won one with the Atlanta Braves.

"Freddie hit that ball, and [Charlie] said they all just started going nuts, like jumping on him, like jumping up and down, like it was just the coolest moment ever."
