Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman was not on the field against Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday, but that did not stop him from going viral after performing a gross act.
Midway through the MLB clash, Freeman was involved in viral moment – one which he will want to forget.
Unaware of the cameras, the two-time World Series champion thought the spotlight was off him as he stuck his fingers in his nostril and plucked out a nose hair.
Dodgers play-by-play commentator Joe Davis turned the gross moment into a hilarious one, saying: “Ah! Get it Freddie!”
Unsurprisingly, the three-second video quickly went viral.

Why was Freeman on the sidelines?
The Dodgers star watched on from the sidelines as his team beat the Reds 5-1 in front of their home fans.
A slight neck injury has kept the 35-year-old out of action, though manager Dave Roberts expects him to make a swift return.
“He’s got a little kind of neck stinger that went from his neck to his shoulder on the right side,” said the Dodgers chief.
“So I think just getting him a couple days, with the off day tomorrow, he’ll be back in there on Friday.”
The Los Angeles side, who are the current World Series champions, lead the National League West by two games over the San Diego Padres.
Last season, Freeman was an influential figure as the Dodgers powered towards World Series glory. One of his biggest moments of the series was a walk-off homer in Game 1 against the New York Yankees.
From the moment on, Freeman went on an absolute tear and hit four home runs and knocked in 12 RBIs during the series that his team won 4-1.
