6 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...

The Toronto Blue Jays' run to the World Series has seemingly changed this franchise for the better.After years of disappointment on the free-agent front, the Jays have already landed one of the best starting pitchers in Dylan Cease, while also adding another intriguing starter in Cody Ponce. Best of all, they aren't done yet.The Jays are continuing to look for a closer and have been linked to both Edwin Diaz and Pete Fairbanks. This is all going on while they are still attempting to re-sign Bo Bichette.
