Freddie Freeman Earned One of the Most Ridiculous Walks You’ll Ever See and Got an RBI in the Process

I know what you’re thinking right out of the bat here—we’re really going to talk about a walk? A walk? We’re here to talk about a walk? 

Yes, Allen Iverson, we are. Because this base on balls by Freddie Freeman in Wednesday night’s Dodgers-Giants game was not your average walk. 

This was a 15-pitch marathon that included nine straight fouls balls. NINE!

This was an at-bat that took almost six minutes. 

This walk came with the bases loaded in a tie game between two rivals who can’t stand each other. 

This walk drove in a run! 

This walk was pure art.

Now sit back and watch the at-bat and have fun listening to the announcers chuckle in disbelief after the final few foul balls:
