    Dodger fan and a Canadian. You were born in California, but your actions speak to your character (something you learned from your parents and especially your mother), and it’s something I’d hope most Canadians and Americans support and respect. How could a mother not be proud of a person like this.

And she is honored by the incredible connection you have with her even though your time with her was so short. My father died when I was 12, and your story touched my heart and let me shed some tears that I needed to shed over the loss of my father, thank you for being you Freddie.

    I’m Canadian and I watched for the first time in a very long time, this year’s World Series. You were ridiculous.👏This video just randomly came on while I was watching RUclips on my T.V.
    I lost my mother, a sister, and a brother, all to cancers (Breast Cancers and Melanoma ) within 19 months. So seeing this kind of floored me. You are a wonderful son, so I know your Mom is proud of how you are living your life. I follow a rule, I would never wear a jersey of someone younger than me, but if the Dodgers have a Freddie Freeman - I’m getting it. SOLBARI is an Australian company that makes clothing rated UPF 50+. In case you did not know. Congratulations on your Championship, but more importantly congratulations on being the man you are.💪🇺🇸🇨🇦

    Just when I thought I couldn’t like Freddie any more, I see this. It’s rare to idolize an athlete more for who they are and what they stand for… vs what they do on the field…but Freddie is a rare exception. While it’s probably true I wouldn’t have known who Freddie was if it wasn’t for baseball, I can genuinely say that the world needs more people like Freddie for who he is off of the field. What a great dude.
