Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is known for being a stand-up guy, and on Monday, he proved why.
Freeman facilitated a special moment for his opponent on the Colorado Rockies, Kyle Karros, after the third baseman reached base on a line drive up the middle.

Once Karros was on first base, Freeman kindly pointed out where the broadcast booth is located at Dodger Stadium.
Why? Because Karros’ father, Eric Karros, was broadcasting the game for SportsNet LA.
The moment brought a chuckle out of both Freeman and the younger Karros.
Eric Karros’ legacy as a Dodger
The elder Karros, a UCLA Bruin, spent 12 of his 14 Major League Baseball seasons with the Boys in Blue.
During that time, he was named the National League Rookie of the Year in 1992 and won a Silver Slugger Award in 1995.
In 1995, he also finished top five in MVP voting.

The Dodgers traded Karros to the Chicago Cubs in December 2002, with Karros and Grudzielanek being swapped for Todd Hundley and Chad Hermansen.
Karros played for the Cubs in 2003 and the Oakland Athletics in 2004, but he remains a part of Dodgers history.
He still holds the record for sacrifice flies in a career with 74.

The future Hall of Famer has nearly 2,500 hits, including two walk-off home runs in the World Series.
It’s unclear, though, how much longer he expects to play, as he recently had a fourth child — his first daughter — and has expressed some thoughts of walking away before he reaches his stated goal of 3,000 hits.
