The eight-time All-Star, who homered in the final two games of the Atlanta Braves' 2021 World Series win over the Houston Astros, is the first player to go yard in six consecutive games in the Fall Classic overall.
Freeman made more World Series history, too, as the first player to ever hit a home run in each of the first four games of a single Fall Classic. George Springer in 2017 with the Astros was the only other time a player homered in any four consecutive games of single World Series, according to MLB.com's Sarah Langs.
Who has hit the most home runs in a single World Series?
Freeman is now one home run away from tying the record for the most homers by a player in a single World Series. There have been three players who recorded five homers in a single World Series, with Reggie Jackson first doing so in the Yankees' 1977 World Series triumph over the Dodgers.

Chase Utley matched Jackson's mark in the Philadelphia Phillies' 2009 World Series loss to the Yankees before George Springer had a five-homer showing in the Astros' 2017 World Series win against the Dodgers.
Freeman's four homers against New York are tied for fourth with several players, including Barry Bonds and Babe Ruth.
Who has hit the most home runs in World Series history?
Mickey Mantle owns the all-time home run record in the World Series with 18 dingers, according to Baseball-Reference.
Babe Ruth sits second with 15 followed by Yogi Berra (12) and Duke Snider (11). Lou Gehrig and Reggie Jackson are tied for fifth all time with 10.
How many World Series home runs does Freddie Freeman have?
Freeman is 12 homers away from Mantle's World Series record. He hit two homers in the 2021 World Series and has four so far in 2024.
Freeman's six home runs in his first 10 World Series games are tied with George Springer for the second-most all time, according to Sarah Langs. Chase Utley hit seven homers in his first 10 World Series games.
