Freddie Freeman is always happy to return to Toronto, even if Blue Jays fans might not give him a warm reception.

Freeman is a dual Canadian-American citizen who has represented Canada in the World Baseball Classic.

However, he’s also one of the stars of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Blue Jays’ opponents in the World Series.

Toronto’s Rogers Centre will host Games 1 and 2 of the World Series on Friday and Saturday.

Freeman’s father is from Windsor, Ont., and his late mother was from Peterborough, Ont., but he was raised in Southern California after his parents moved to the United States for work.

The nine-time all-star hit .295 for L.A. this past season with 24 home runs and 90 runs batted in.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 22, 2025.
