During the event, Freeman appeared in the background of a picture featuring international music icon Taylor Swift, much to the delight and amusement of onlookers. 2023 saw Swift's first foray into the pro sports world after her announcement of a relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Both born in 1989, Freeman is three months older than Swift.
The 2020 NL MVP Award winner first came to LA in 2022 on a six-year, $162 million contract with the Dodgers. Previously, Freeman played on the Atlanta Braves from 2010 until 2021, winning a World Series and multiple Silver Sluggers. Thankfully for Freeman, it looks like he is taking to his new home swimmingly.

While his watch was indeed snappy, it was Freeman himself who deserved the attention for making an appearance. This year, massive signings such as Shohei Ohtani and others have caused a spike in interest in baseball from the general public. By showing his face at the Golden Globes, Freeman is only aiding the cause.
Ahead of big names joining the Dodgers, Freeman will be looked upon to serve a foundational support role, drawing from his tenacity and experience. With such a massive stage given to him, baseball fans everywhere should rejoice that Freeman indeed looked the part.
