Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and acting Giants skipper Kai Correa were believed to be the first managers or head coaches of Asian descent to face each other in any of the four major U.S. sports Friday night.
"Obviously he's heavy-hearted right now. He and Gabe have a good relationship, but for me as an Asian American to be able to exchange lineup cards with Kai, I'm proud of him and what he's done and what he's doing," Roberts said.
"I've got a lot of respect for him. It's good for the game in the sense that someone that didn't play professional baseball or big league baseball has reached the heights that he has. That's good for people that look like us. ... When you step back for a second and realize the significance, it's big."
Correa said he thanked Roberts"for representing our shared background and creating opportunities for folks who look like me," adding:"I'm glad I got to have that moment." Freeman doubled with one out in the sixth inning, matching Todd Helton in 2000 for the most doubles in a season in the majors since 1936 and the seventh-most all-time.
