Playing in his first game since July 25, Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman got an incredible ovation from the Dodger faithful.
Playing in his first game since July 25, Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman got an incredible standing ovation when he stepped to the plate on Monday night.
Playing against the Philadelphia Phillies, Freeman got an ovation that went just about one minute long. He's been out of the lineup for the last several games dealing with the health of his son, Max, who has been in the hospital with a rare condition. He is now improving but Freeman says the last several days were very scary and emotional.
Max woke up two Mondays ago with a slight limp and went into full paralysis five days later, prompting Freeman to rush home from a series in Houston. By the following Wednesday, July 31, doctors removed Max from his ventilator.The best news of all is that Max is doing well enough for Freeman to return to the lineup. Also, good on the Dodgers fans for showing their support and good on the Phillies players for recognizing the moment as well, especially pitcher Aaron Nola.
An All-Star this year, Freeman is hitting .287 at the time of this posting. He has 16 homers and 67 RBI.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
