Open Extended ReactionsATLANTA -- Four years of return visits to Atlanta has prepared Freddie Freeman for another on 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. "Now that I'm here, I think it's going to be special," Freeman said Monday night. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said it was clear how much it meant to Freeman to return to Atlanta as an All-Star. Freeman said he has visited with Braves manager Brian Snitker and some former teammates but spent more time relishing his relationship with the Atlanta fans.
