Champion and 2024 World Series MVP Freddie Freeman has had one of the best seasons of his career with the Los Angeles Dodgers and remains a devout Christian.
Since coming into the spotlight as a minor league player with the Atlanta Braves in 2007, Freeman has been vocal about his religious beliefs. Here's a look at one his first interviews from his AA days, where he spoke about his family's deep ties with the Salvation Army:
"I think I'm the 6th generation of Salvationist. I was born to the Salvation Army in Southern California. My dad was 1st trombone; my uncle is still 1st cornet in the band back home. My grandpa is the bandmaster; my great grandfather was also bandmaster. It just keeps going back."
