Freddie Freeman has spoken often about his mom, Rosemary, and how he’s honored her over the years, which has included playing for Team Canada at the World Baseball Classic.
She died due to melanoma skin cancer when the Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman was just 10 years old. So when the World Series stopped for a moment during Game 4 for the annual Stand Up to Cancer moment of silence in which players, fans and everyone else thinks of loved ones who have dealt with the disease with placards held up.
Freeman wrote “my mom” on his. It was that moment that the Fox broadcast captured someone yelling “You suck, Freeman!”
Come on. Yell all you want at players, but not then. And especially not at Freeman.
