David Freese is still a well-liked man in St. Louis.

Prior to his first at-bat against the Cardinals on Saturday, Freese, now a Pittsburgh Pirate, was given a standing ovation as he stepped up to the plate.

As a member of the Cardinals, he batted .286 with 44 homers and 237 RBIs. But his crowning moment was being the hero and MVP of the 2011 World Series.
