Freddie Freeman shares emotional connection with Toronto ahead of Blue Jays showdown

The Blue Jays will host the Dodgers at Rogers Centre for the first two World Series games before the next set of games at Dodger Stadium. Freddie Freeman, who represents Canada in the World Baseball Classic (WBC), shared his feelings on playing in the country.

"I'm not so sure the Canadian fans, Blue Jays fans, will be cheering for me this time around like it was in the WBC the last couple times," said Freeman.

Freeman's parents hailed from Canada with his mother, Rosemary, from Peterborough, Ontario, and the Dodgers first baseman admitted feeling close to his late mother whenever he plays in Toronto.

"I love going back to Toronto, it's a special place for obviously my family and every time I go back there I feel a little bit closer to my mom," Freeman said. "So I'm looking forward to getting there tomorrow."

The Dodgers travel to Toronto for Game 1 of the World Series on Friday with Game 2 scheduled for Saturday.
