An EMOTIONAL RETURN! Freeman receives World Series ring, gets standing ovation in return to Atlanta! 

It’s crazy how you can totally see the love in his heart for the fans in Atlanta, he never wanted to leave . He’ll come back.

As a Dodger fan, I’m glad Freddie is in the team. He’s a classy player, leader and great mentor to the younger generation coming up through the organization. But I don’t think he’s a Dodger through and through, and that’s okay. LA borrowed him from Atlanta. At heart, he’s a brave until he dies. But that’s not going to negatively affect his effort and intentions in another uniform. I hope both Freeman and Olsen work out in their new homes.

It's very rare that a visiting player gets this type of treatment from a home crowd. But it's Freddie!

I’m not crying, you’re crying. 😭. Well deserved. Good guy.

This legit made me cry! Nobody should ever wear the #5 in Braves history again! We love you Freddie! -Lifelong Braves fan

A man doesn't;t get that emotional unless someone/something has a profound impact on them. You can tell just how much Freddie Freeman loves and appreciates Braves fans and the city of Atlanta. Well-deserved ring for him after 12 long years

Class act!!! Always enjoy watching Freeman smiling and having fun out there. Congrats on getting your ring. One of the greatest that I'm glad my mets won't have to face too often. Congrats again!!

Freddie Freeman is from: Born: September 12, 1989 (age 32 years), Fountain Valley, CA His return home happen in the off season.

Blood sweat and tears, that's Freddie. Good Father, husband, and just an all-around good guy.

Takes a lot of courage to be so vulnerable in a moment like that. Freddie is a legendarily good guy. He’s not bad at the baseball thing either

Not a Braves or Dodgers fan, but I knew that Freddie was returning to Atlanta and was curious to see the reception he would get. I expected him to get a warm welcome and he did. Great job by the Braves and their fans. Freddie is also a class act and I'm sure he'll go into the Hall of Fame with a Braves cap on.

One of the best examples of hard work and dedication paying off.

I’ll miss him but he’s always a true Brave

“Don’t be sad that it’s over, be happy it happened.”

Some teams reach greatness. I love that baseball fans recognize that some players stand tall on their own merit. Respect to Atlanta fans for welcoming him home. We Dodger fans know how lucky we are. Freddy doesn't belong to a team. He belongs to baseball.

He was a brave for life braves should of never let him go!!!!!!!!!

Truly one of the most emotional moments in baseball since Pujols returned to STL as an Angel. I seriously have never cried for an team and player that isn’t mine, but God this is why I love baseball! -a Cardinals fan

We love you Freddie from a braves fan

What a clss act Freedie Freeman is. I always cheered for him when he was a Brave. One of the really good guys on and off the field. ⚾️⚾️⚾️👍

Man wants to come home! Atlanta misses you Freddie. Thanks for all the memories. Brave 4 life

Freddie Freeman and Chipper Jones my 2 all time favorites!!! Go Braves!!! Greetings from Guatemala 🇬🇹❤️

Being one of the greats isn’t just about putting up the numbers, it’s also how you carry yourself as a person in and off the field. An excellent player, an excellent person.

I love Freddie Freeman coming from an Astros fan I hope he does well In LA

It’s an emotional game, one to make a grown man cry. Proud to be a Braves fan, come on back any time, this city misses you.

If that doesn't look like a player who wishes he never left the Braves I don't know what does? I think he truly realized this today.

I’m sad that he left Atlanta, but he accomplished so much with the Braves. Thank you Freddie:)

What a freakin’ legend… class act!

Congratulations to Freddie! I'm a Dodger fan, but still happy to see him get this ring. He deserves it. He's such a nice guy

Freddie Freeman is still my favorite baseball player of all time. For Christmas I got a autographed baseball by him. I have his jersey too so when he left the Braves I was the saddest I had been in a long time.

I Love Freddie Freeman So Much

This is one of the main reasons that I love baseball. No other sport compares.

Simply amazing, and Freddie deserves every bit of love he gets in Atlanta 👏 It's really touching to see how much his time as a Brave meant to him, and shows how much he cared about the team. I don't think he wanted to leave Atlanta the way he had to and I wish more athletes got the chance to form this kind of relationship w a fan base like they did back in day.

What a beautiful moment and day for him and to his family and the ATL Braves Organization, even I am not a Braves fan but I am so proud and happy for him, he deserves that ring very much after waiting for 3 months.

As a Braves fan, I couldn’t help but let it flow. He was my guy. Made me get down on the floor and cry my eyes out. Thank you, Freddie…

Great Moment.. Freddie Freeman , Anthony Rizzo and Miguel Cabrera are the reasons why I started to watch and love this sport. They are always smiling and that shows they are really nice guys.

Dear Dodgers fans, Take good care of our boy. Love, Braves fans

Once a Brave, always a Brave. Thank you, Freddie.

The reporter is tearing up in the interview 😂 I'm a Yankees fan and I'm tearing up what an awesome moments congrats to the braves upper brass for organizing this and the braves fans as well

He's definitely a hof player, and also a good dude. He's still kicking butt after 12 years too.

Always loved Freeman. A class act and one of the best first basemen I’ve ever seen. Hope the Braves retire Number 5 for him. No one else should ever wear that number for the Braves.

a tremendously gifted athlete yes but an even better man. thank u for 12 years as a brave.

He is a true roll model for any kid to ever want to strive to be like . He I'd a true baseball player/legend

Man o man if you didn’t cry for this idk what to tell you. Especially from a great baseball player and flat out awesome human being. Definitely a role model and a player you can root for no matter what. A Class Act . As a Yankees fan and of course baseball fan in general there have been many great speeches this will be another added to that list. That’s the beauty of sports it unites people across the globe no matter what your background is and that’s what we can only ask for. It takes us away from the problems that we deal with in everyday life even if it’s for several hours. ✊ and congrats to Freddy Freeman and continue your success

Much respect to Freddie Freeman. One of my favorites to watch. Great ball player, great person. Atta boy Freddie! -Padres fan

The exact sort of player you want on your team-a beast on the field, a sweetheart off it.

I lived every year of my life knowing he was the braves one and he went to the dodgers and it was sad.

I think i cried more than Freddie did lol well deserved. even he's wearing dodger blue to me he'll always be a brave.

True professional. Brave for life. Thank you Freddie

It’s ok to cry in baseball in this one particular moment.

What I love about Freddie, as a Dodgers and baseball fan for 60 years, is he's friendly..

Bro, I literally cried 😢

Forever an Atlanta Brave. Thank You Freddie. Braves Country loves you.

his speech got me crying 😭

Freddie you are still the man .You will always be one of my favorite players. You play the game the right way. Best of luck to you and your family. I love Freddie Freeman>

I’ve lived in Georgia my entire life. What a moment! We love you forever Freddie, no matter what! Thank you for acknowledging the extent of the fan base. It involves several states. So many dedicated Braves Country fans. You have further solidified our powerful legacy and extensive list of baseball accomplishments sir! Chop on!

Glad he could win with Atlanta thank you Freddie for everything you have done for this championship ring great guy

congrats Freddie you're my favorite baseball player and when I see you play it motivates me to keep working hard and I can be like you someday

As an Astros fan living in atlanta I was feeling all sorts of emotions

How can you not love Freddie Freeman!

As a Marlins fan Freddie meant so much to that team from where he started to where he’s at now is crazy and he’s a all around great player and I wish him the best of luck with the dodgers and the rest of his career

What a classy dude!!! This is the correct example for the kids of America!!! God Bless Freddie Freeman!

I'm not crying I'm sweating out of my eyes

Poor Freddie they crushed that guys heart he obviously loved being a Brave

That’s the true real emotion I love to see from sports. Freeman is and always a Brave.

Freddy , will always be an Atlanta Brave !!! He is a class act ! MVP !!!!!!!

This makes me proud to be a lifetime braves fan born and raised 30 miles south of Atlanta🙏

Yankee fan here. Yankee fan here shedding a tear... Damn Freddy way to keep it real!! Congratulations!

Matt Olson is good, but there’s nobody like Freddie. This dude is classy and a great player. Loved watching him play

Hall of Famer.

Right here is one of the biggest Braves haters you could find. Absolutely amazing to see how emotional and how genuinely happy Freddie was and is about his time in Atlanta.

Freddie Freman a class act!!

As a lifelong Braves fan I'd just like to say thanks to Freeman. Go Braves

Whether your a baseball fan or even a sports fan or not…you always love to see things like this 🥹 it always makes you smile. Welcome back to Atlanta, Freddie!

I had never seen this, and that was quite an outpouring by the fans. You can readily see how much Freddie -- great player, great guy - appreciated it.

This makes me cry. I'm a Mets fan

Such a classy guy, there are a lot of sports stars / celebrities that could learn a lot from this guy, A LOT!!!

Man this got me crying

Wow! I’ve been a Freddie fan for a few years even before he came to the Dodgers. I’ve always loved and admired his grace and class. Every time he takes his first AB of a game, as he walks up to the plate, he always greets the opposing team’s catcher and then the umpire. Pure class. So glad he’s a Dodger now 💕

As a Dodger fan, we know Atlanta will always hold a special place in his heart. We’ll love him just the same in Los Angeles and take care of him.

I'm crying and I'm a mets fan 😭. Loved watching Freddie play. Although he destroyed my team, I'm sad he's no longer in the NL East. Such a great player and even greater heart ❤️

Welcome home freddie, it's OK to cry

We will always love you Freddie Freeman!!! Always a Brave ❤❤❤

Hit me right in the feels.

Class act from the braves faithful, they weren't bitter at all and showed freeman the respect he so richly deserved.

Great job Freddie. No matter how long you’re with the Dodgers or any other team, you’ll always be one of the greatest Braves in history. Thank you for your time with us, congrats on your new position with the Dodgers. For the A!!

Forever a Braves legend❤️🙏🏽

Last time I felt this emotion was when Pujols was at Busch stadium for the first time and when he hit a homerun. And I'm a Dodgers fan. But this one means more because he's now playing for us. Unlike the Angels, we will be contending to win the World Series with Freddie Freeman.

Such a humble and classy guy! Baseball Fans All Around are the lucky ones!

Not only a great ballplayer, but a really decent human being that represented his team with grace on and off the field.

Awesome! Moments like this is one of the many reasons why I love baseball.

Crying over here. What a class act! Love Freddie no matter what team you root for!

When I lived in Atlanta there was nothing better than going to see the Braves play. Freddie was always top notch. Love the emotion as it's genuine and he deserved every accolade he gets. Freddie fan for life

I really love him as a man and a baseball player. Watching him play made me smile and he really deserve this moment.

Braves is where this man and his heart belongs 👍

Yeah, that was such a good moment! We need more special moments with good people more often!

Absolutely one of the best, on and off the field. The Man!!!

I was at the games when Freddie played for the MS. Braves. I watched him develop into the person , player , husband & father he is today. I could tell he was going to be a special talent. He hit his first HR with the MS.Braves back in 2009 . It was Hawaii night at the park. The jersey had a Hawaii theme. The jersey was on the ugly side but Freddie’s HR was beautiful . We will always love Freddie & he will always be a part of our family & in our hearts forever a BRAVE . ❤️5 Freddie Freeman ❤️

Congrats Freddie. You are a Brave forever regardless of what uniform you wear. Class act.

Freddie congrats on getting a championship title for ATL before you got here in LA. You deserve respect to all the braves fans and dodgers fans for everything you have accomplished and after 12 years with the braves, you have done so well and I am inspired by you to play baseball. From, a Dodgers fan

Freddie is coming back home .... He is a BRAVE !!!!! Point blank period....matter of time .We will always love Freddie!!!!! Plus you don't look right as a Dodger very weird doing the calabunga dude instead of the CHOP!
