Los Angeles superstar Freddie Freeman has emerged from his worst career slump with the help of a viral moment filmed at a Cold Play concert.
The couple, flashed on the big screen at the concert, sparked much debate about their marriage status situation and their involvement with each other, but the video led to countless internet memes featuring the two caught on camera.
When Freddie Freeman’s walk-off grand slam from Game 1 of the 2024 World Series was one of the moments the couple was overlaid in many compilations of that concert, Freeman spent less time thinking about his comedic moments from that memorable October night and his swing.

According to Bill Plunkett on the Orange County Register, Freeman asked his father for advice on how to get out of his poor performance, and when he watched the video he asked him to “get in” more into his front ankle.
From the beginning of June to the final homestand of the in July, Freeman had hit just .210 with 48 strikeouts in 43 games.
In Freeman’s final seven games, he hits .357 with eight RBIs and one home run.
Three of these RBIs and home runs and home runs came on Friday to support the absolute gems from Clayton Kershaw and Justin Wobleski. Freeman initially spoke about his search for his ankle as a source of poor performance, but on Friday pointed out how clear it was that his swing appears to have placed a production shortage behind him.
“I’m not thinking about that at all. This time, I’m just going to swing it and hit it,” Freeman said. “Two weeks ago I was thinking about being at my ankle, but now I’m not thinking about it. I’m just in a box and shaking now.
“So I don’t know if I’m in front of me. I’m on time a few times today and the last few days.
