Freddie Freeman Credits Wife, Cappuccino Following 2nd Cycle

Hitting for the cycle is no easy feat. Freddie Freeman just became the second Braves player to hit for the cycle twice by accomplishing the feat last night against the Marlins. The reigning National League MVP doubled in the first, tripled in the fourth, singled in the fifth and hit his 27th homer in the sixth.

A true cycle.

After the game he spoke about who helped him achieve this tough task.

“My wife, we had breakfast this morning and we had two cappuccinos delivered — and she chose the cappuccino and she handed it to me and said this is the one with a lot of hits in it. So I have to give this one up to my wife, Chelsea, because if it wasn’t for the right cappuccino pick, I wouldn’t be here talking to you guys,” Freeman said via the Athletic:

Freeman last hit for the cycle against Cincinnati on June 15th, 2016.

Freeman owes his wife some flowers, and at the very least a massage or two…
