Freddie Freeman does not do things halfway — not at the plate, and apparently not on Halloween either. The Dodgers first baseman celebrated the holiday with a full family superhero parade straight out of Marvel and DC: two Spidermen, Supergirl, Hulk, Black Panther, and a pint-sized Wonder Woman for the youngest member of the crew. Six costumes. Zero compromises.
An October Worth Celebrating
Freeman has every reason to head into this offseason in a great mood. In the 2024 regular season he posted a .282 AVG and an .854 OPS, numbers that keep him firmly among the best-hitting first basemen in the National League. And if there’s one image from this postseason that baseball fans will carry for years, it’s his grand slam in Game 1 of the World Series — one of the most iconic moments in recent October memory.
There’s also this: Freeman has posted a positive offensive WAR in each of the last six consecutive seasons. In plain terms, the Canadian has delivered real wins for his team year after year, regardless of circumstances. That’s elite-level consistency, and it doesn’t happen by accident.
What It Means for 2025
For the Dodgers, having Freeman healthy and locked in heading into next season is worth as much as any splashy offseason move. He’ll enter 2025 at 35 years old with a contract that still carries significant weight on the books — but nothing in his performance suggests a decline is coming.
If this Halloween snapshot tells us anything, it’s that the Freeman household runs on a championship mentality. On the field and off it.
- 2024 AVG: .282
- 2024 OPS: .854
- Positive offensive WAR: six straight seasons
- Signature moment: Grand slam, World Series Game 1
The family that wins together, apparently also dresses up together — and they don’t skimp on the superhero lineup.
