“Give me a second, I don’t know if I can get through this”
Freddie Freeman returned to Atlanta for the first time since signing with the Dodgers Friday and met with the media. The press conference had a false start as Freeman entered the room, but then had to retreat to try and compose himself. For just over 15 minutes, a teary eyed Freeman explained what the Braves organization, the city and the fans meant to him.
“It’s hard to even look up at the people that I’ve been with for 15 years,” Freeman said as he fought back tears.
