What you may not know: If not in baseball, Freeman would ... "be a CPA, like my dad. He owns a CPA firm and that's what I always wanted to do growing up, is be an accountant like my dad. I'm good with numbers. Everybody wants to be a baseball player or professional athlete but you never really think about that kind of stuff until it actually happens."
