Breaking news: David Freese, one of the Cardinals’ all-time postseason heroes, will be back in a St. Louis uniform next year.
Freese, the star of the 2011 World Series win by the Cardinals, ended his career with the Los Angeles Dodgers after last season. But his being in a Cardinals jersey as a “legend” in January, if the coronavirus can be counteracted, will be among several events Freese will be involved in as he returns at least part-time to the city in which he spent the balance of his life.
Freese, who played for the Cardinals from 2009-13, lives in Austin, Texas, with wife Mairin and 2½-year-old son Kai.
