Freeman’s moving speech: “Three months ago, when my son got sick…” Center was named “MVP” – Sponichi Sponichi Annex Baseball

The Dodgers, who won their eighth world championship for the first time in four years from 2020, held a victory parade in their home base in Los Angeles on the 1st (2nd trip to Japan). They made a triumphant return by winning the prestigious East-West championship with the Yankees, the 12th time in 43 years. Los Angeles was in crisis. This was the first victory parade in 36 years since 1988, as the previous victory parade could not be held in 20 years due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Afterwards, they returned to their home base, Dodger Stadium, and a celebratory event was held. When Shohei Otani appeared on the field, he was met with a standing ovation, followed by cries of “Freddie” for Freeman and the familiar “Moooooo!'” for Betts, resulting in a standing ovation.

Freeman gave a speech and said, “Thank you for your support throughout the year, I’m not like Quique Hernandez, but heart.” He thanked his players and fans in the stands.

He then started to say, “Three months ago…” but was interrupted until the fans chanted MVP and the cheers stopped. Afterwards, he said, “When my son got sick, everyone did their best for my family, it really moved me. I am happy that I did my best, because I was able to be a hero like this I am very happy.

Freeman’s third son Maximus developed Guillain-Barre syndrome in late July. He was away from the team for about 10 days. In addition, despite suffering from a sprained right ankle, he played an active role in the World Series (WS), setting a new record for six games in a row, giving the in during his time with the Braves, and contributing to being the best in the series. world Afterwards, Jeff Passan, a reporter for the ESPN sports channel, reported that he was injured all over his body, saying, “I also had a broken rib. But, despite his father urging him to withdraw, he forced himself to participate, saying, “Dad, I will never quit.” The program that just happened has been published.

Freeman concluded his moving speech with, “I can’t wait to come back and play here next year. Thank you.”
