SEOUL — A few hours before the Los Angeles Dodgers took the field at Gocheok Sky Dome in South Korea, first baseman Freddie Freeman was crouched in front of the team’s dugout, doing fielding drills.
No cameramen elbowed for a shot. No reporters jostled to get a view. Freeman — a former MVP, one of the best players of his era and a probable future Hall of Famer — was easily accessible, right there in plain sight, chatting with coaches and whoever got near. But mostly, everyone left him alone.
