Freddie Freeman Doesn’t Want to Retire When Current Dodgers Contract is Up

Los Angeles Dodgers star first baseman Freddie Freeman is what people call a “pure hitter.”

He’s the type of guy who can roll out of bed and collect four hits without breaking a sweat. The player the opposition is dreadfully fearing whenever he steps into the box — especially in a pivotal moment.

As of May 21, Freeman has registered 2,319 hits. He has the most hits of any active player at this current time. The next big personal milestone staring him square in the face is the vaunted 3,000-hit mark.
