Three months after Freddie Freeman was placed on the family emergency list after his 3-year-old son fell ill, he was named the World Series MVP.
Following the Los Angeles Dodgers championship win again the New York Yankees, Freeman was asked about his son, Maximus Freeman’s battle with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
What he said about that journey has parents everywhere applauding the father of three, ESPN reported.
“I would gladly strike out with the bases loaded in the Botton of the ninth inning in Game 7 of the World Series 300 million times in a row than see that again,” he said of watching his son be hospitalized because of the rare autoimmune disorder.
“But he’s on his way,” Freeman continued, adding an update on Max’s journey. “It’s going to be a long road.”
On social media, people praised Freeman for the way he handled it all.
“As a die hard Yankee fan, Freddie Freeman gained a fan in me,” one comment read. “The way you love your family and the way you played through it all. Absolutely incredible. This Yankee fan is now a fan of yours. Prayers for Max.”
