5 h. ago Dodgers star gets booed out of Toronto kids hospital in hilarious new commercial

Toronto Blue Jays fans don't appear to have forgiven the Los Angeles Dodgers just yet – even if it's for a good cause.The Dodgers, as you surely know by now, broke just about all of Canada's collective hearts last month when they topped the Blue Jays in an epic seven-game World Series.And one of the heroes for the Dodgers in that series was Freddie Freeman, hitting a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th inning of a long Game 3.Given that Freeman represents Canada internationally in baseball due to his Canadian parents' roots, he'd usually be a natural pick for many Canadian commercials.But in a recent holiday spot for SickKids hospital (alongside none other than Ryan Reynolds), Freeman didn't exactly get the warmest of receptions.Rub some dirt on it @FreddieFreeman5! And thank you for being such a good sport supporting @sickkids. Everyone who can, please donate before December 24th and all donations will be matched up to $1,000,000. pic.twitter.c...
