"Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman has a complicated relationship with the city of Toronto and Canada as a whole. The three-time World Series champion was born in Southern California, but his parents were born in Ontario, meaning Freeman holds dual Canadian and American citizenship. Freeman joined the Canadian National Team during the 2017 World Baseball Classic, representing them again in 2023."
"However, after Freeman's Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series this season, his relationship with the country has soured a bit - as seen in a hilarious and heartwarming video the nine-time All-Star made in support of Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds called upon Freeman to visit kids at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children for his annual fundraising video."
Freddie Freeman was born in Southern California to parents from Ontario and holds dual Canadian and American citizenship. Freeman represented Canada in the World Baseball Classic in 2017 and again in 2023. After the Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series, Freeman took part in a SickKids Hospital fundraising video in Toronto. Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds invited Freeman to visit children at the Hospital for Sick Children. During the visit, several children booed and chanted in favor of the Blue Jays, and one child told Freeman to "go back to your sunshine and traffic, you loser." The SickKids Foundation focuses on improving children’s health and supporting medical advances.
