Freeney liked baseball

What he would have done w/o football

Baseball,” he said, smiling. “Definitely baseball. I would have liked to have given it a shot.

“I played baseball growing up, all the time. I played it from Pee-Wee on up. I didn’t start playing football until my sophomore year in high school.”

Freeney was a four-year letterman at Bloomfield. He was the Warhawks’ thumper at the plate and their eraser in center field.

One of his home runs at Bill Lee Field is legendary.
