The irony is that Freeman had yet to hit a home run with the Dodgers, and he just did it against his old team the first time he faced them. He is now the third ex-MPV to hit a home run in his first at-bat against the team he won that award with in the MLB, the others are Alex Rodríguez (vs. Rangers 2004) and Frank Thomas (vs. White Sox in 2006).
