LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers welcomed back one of its biggest fans to Dodger Stadium over the weekend.
Freddie Freeman’s son Max attended his first game since he was hospitalized for a rare condition last month.
Freeman’s wife Chelsea shared photos of Max and his brothers, Charlie and Brandon, sitting in one of the Dodger boxes on Saturday. The family also invited Max’s nurses and doctors to join them.
“Last night was Max’s first game back at Dodger Stadium!!! 💙 Swipe left to see Max’s team of Doctors and Nurses. We teamed up with the @dodgers to give them a very special night. It was soooo good to see them and for them to see Max doing so well. @chocchildrens PICU team is truly incredible. I am forever grateful to them for treating Max like their own. They took him from critical to the healthy boy he is today. Words can never describe how grateful I am for them. One of my favorite nights ever.”
