Freddie Freeman showed flashes of his future Most Valuable Player form in his rookie season of 2011, hitting for a healthy .282 batting average with 21 homers, 76 RBI, and 32 doubles for the Atlanta Braves. The 2020 National League MVP wore this offered white Atlanta Braves home jersey in seven games during the 2011 campaign. This jersey has been photo matched to games on April 8th and 9th, May 27th and 28th, and June 1st, 17th, and 22nd. Freeman cracked a pair of homers in this jersey, on May 28th off Bronson Arroyo of the Cincinnati Reds, and on June 17th against Colby Lewis of the Texas Rangers. These were the sixth and eighth home runs of Freeman’s superb career! In total, the California native went 9-for-25 with two homers and five RBI on the mentioned dates while wearing this jersey.

The button-down jersey features “Braves” sewn across the chest in red and navy tackle twill above a large tomahawk logo patch. “FREEMAN” is sewn across the back shoulders in navy tackle twill on a matching white nameplate. Freeman’s number “5” is sewn on the back of the jersey in red and navy tackle twill. A Majestic logo is sewn on the left sleeve, while a Majestic tag is applied to the front left tail of the jersey above a “50 ‘11 S2” swatch. An MLB logo patch is sewn on the back outside collar. Freeman has signed the jersey twice in black marker, both on the front left tail and the “5” digit on the jersey’s back. On the “5,” Freeman added the inscription “Game Worn / Career HR #6 and #8.” The jersey comes with an MLB Authenticated hologram (FJ 180951), which mentions Freeman wearing the jersey on July 2nd as well, and a LOA from Sports Investors Authentication, who have photo matched the jersey to the mentioned seven games. Also included with this lot are two full tickets from the May 28th and June 17th games.
