ATLANTA -- Four years of return visits to Atlanta has prepared Freddie Freeman for another Tuesday night, this time as the starting first baseman for the National League in the All-Star Game.
Freeman, now in his fourth season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, played his first 12 seasons with the Atlanta Braves. He makes no effort to hide his emotions when he returns and says he won't be surprised if another warm reception from fans creates another emotional response.
"Now that I'm here, I think it's going to be special," Freeman said Monday night.
