FREDDIE FREEMAN PLAYED in 161 games last year. He does not like this fact. Were it up to the Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman and likely future Hall of Famer, he would participate in every game of every season, all 162, a number held sacred throughout the game. Freeman has partly agreed to a compromise since joining the Dodgers -- the day after they clinch a division championship, he'll sit, for one game and nothing more. When that day arrived last season, he still fought it.
"Until I'm told to sit down, I will fight you until you literally don't put me in the lineup card," Freeman said.
