New York, USA.– Freddie Freeman, who was named MVP of the World Series, has a special affection for “Toro” Valenzuela, all because his stepmother was a fan of the Mexican Fernando Valenzuela.
The first baseman from the Los Angeles franchise revealed that his stepmother is a fan of Valenzuela.
Fernando died before the World Series against the New York Yankees, and Freeman’s stepmother died of cancer when the player was a 10-year-old boy. “It’s hard to put into words. My stepmother is from Los Angeles. She grew up watching Fernando, which means Fernando in the city of Los Angeles; and not just in Los Angeles, but for baseball fans around the world.
“I wish you were here. I’m glad he (Fernando) is up there, probably with my mum who is jumping up and down at the moment. So I’m glad we were able to bring it home (the championship). A little bittersweet, but I’m glad we were able to do it for Fernando and his family,” Freeman said.
Freedy’s power with his home runs was key to the Dodgers winning the title.
