While the game was lopsided and rather uneventful, there was a fan during every Freeman at-bat who would heckle him.

One fan reacted by arguing whether Freeman was a sellout or not. Freeman signed with the Dodgers after the Braves traded for first baseman Matt Olson in the off-season.
@JomboyMedia Do people realize the Braves ditched him ? Lol

Another fan reacted by saying that it was crazy to call him a sellout considering he likely took a paycut and wanted to go back to the area he grew up in.
@JomboyMedia How is it even a sellout? He got essentially a lesser deal once you factor in California taxes. He took a hometown discount and gets to play for a contender 🤷♂️.

Another fan called the heckler the absolute worst. Have to agree on that one.

Another fan thinks that it is ridiculous that people really care that much about where a professional athlete decides to play.
Ridiculous, like people have never left one job for another for better opportunities and money twitter.com/jomboymedia/st…

Lastly, a fan brought up the fact that Freddie Freeman brought so much to the Braves organization, and it is emberrassing that some fans continue to heckle him for his decision.
I love Freddie and wish he would have stayed. I sont blame him for what transpired. The backlash he has gotten from Braves fans is embarrassing. They all should be ashamed of themselves for how they've acted to include heckling his wife. The man was great for us for over 10 years twitter.com/JomboyMedia/st…

Hecklers will likely always be part of the sport, but it is getting to a point where fans need to grow up and act like adults.
