Well, given that it's schema.org, freebase seems like a natural source of identifiers for much SEO, but I see this as a standing for DBpedia URIs. DBpedia provides a sameAs relationship to the equivalent Freebase resource, so it should be semantically equivalent. I'd be fine with specifying the enumeration space be from DBpedia instead.

For example, <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Major_League_Baseball> asserts a sameAs relationship to <http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/m.09p14>. Of course, DBpedia has the advantage of being much more readable. (However, this isn't the same as  <http://www.freebase.com/ns/m.09p14>, so maybe there are some naming/content-negotiation issues remaining?)

Interestingly, most schema.org examples I see use various language-based WikiPedia pages instead of DBpedia. They're also equivalents in DBpedia, though.
