Back with Dodgers, emotional Freddie Freeman details son's health scare

[utlom]

Freddie Freeman returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers early Monday afternoon -- in the wake of a harrowing two-week stretch in which his 3-year-old son, Maximus, battled a rare neurological disorder -- and saw new T-shirts adorning every locker. They were Dodger Blue, with Freeman's name and number on the back and the phrase "#MaxStrong" emblazoned on the front. Moments later, all the Dodgers' coaches and players wore them during pregame workouts in solidarity with their star first baseman and his youngest child. "That's the first time I cried today," Freeman said. "It means a lot." Freeman's emotions returned during a 30-minute session with reporters as he detailed the pain of seeing his son suffer.
