An Amazing Stat About Los Angeles Dodgers Star Freddie Freeman and His Place in Recent Baseball History
For multiple months, it's been a foregone conclusion that that Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. would win the National League MVP award.
However, Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman is doing his best to enter the conversation.
