Freeland is actually a Rockie. Brings back the thought of the time Frank Frisch used Dizzy Dean as a pinch runner in the 1934 World Series. Dean was on first and the batter hit a double play ball, with the relay hitting Dean square on the head and knocking him out.
Diz recovered of course and made the classic comment, “They x-rayed my head and found nothing.” 🙂
