Chelsea was actually Freddie's second stop after the end of the game. He first celebrated the moment with his father and exchanged a high-five.

“He’s been training batting for as long as I can remember. My swing is thanks to him. My approach is thanks to him,” Freddie said in a post-match press conference. “I am who I am because of him. All the batting practice, all the tireless hours we spent together on a baseball field, we still do it together in the offseason. He still throws me batting practice.”

Freddie also pointed out that his father is “so nervous” ahead of the World Series, which the Dodgers will play against the New York Yankees.

“I just wanted to share this with him because he's experienced this and he's been through a lot in his life too,” the MLB star said. “I just wanted to be a part of it in that moment because, more than anything, this is his moment. Because if he didn't let me take batting practice, or even if he didn't love the game of baseball, I wouldn't be here playing this game. That is Fred FreemanThat’s where the moment is.”
