If you had been asked who you thought would be the first Dodger player to make a donation in support of the massive firefighting efforts in Los Angeles right now, chances are exceptionally good that your answer would have been 35-year-old Dodgers future Hall of Fame first baseman Freddie Freeman – and you would have been right. This from ESPN’s Jeff Passan on Friday afternoon:

A short while later, the Dodgers announced that utility player Chris Taylor and his wife Mary had committed to matching donations up to $5,000 in support of the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation through their non-profit CT3 Foundation.

Well done, guys and gals.

Play Ball!
