Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman Receives Standing Ovation From Fans, Philadelphia Phillies Players In Heartwarming Moment

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman received a standing ovation Monday night at Dodger Stadium. The eight-time all star return to the lineup for the first time since July 26 as he was tending to the health of his son, Maximus.

The Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 5 to 3, furthering their dominance in the National League West. However, the best part of the game occurred when Freeman stepped up to the plate for the first time in several games. The first baseman was off duty as his son spent eight days in the pediatric ICU, according to Sports Illustrated.
