You may not know who David Freeman is, but for much of the Cyclones’ existence, Freeman was the team’s official scorer, a job he also performs in a five-person rotation for the New York Yankees.
And now he’s in the Hall of Fame. Here’s how he did it.
When Alex Rodriguez hit his 500th homer at Yankee Stadium on Aug. 4, Freeman was the official scorer that day.
Because Rodriguez was the youngest player in baseball history to reach the 500-homer mark, the Hall of Fame asked for the scorecard.
Freeman kept a copy, but the original — with his name listed as the scorer — is now in Cooperstown.
It’s the closest a Cyclone has ever gotten to immortality. So far.
