Freddie Freeman Hits First Ever Walk-Off Grand Slam In World Series
2 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman played the hero in Game 1 of the World Series, hitting a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 10th to send the crowd into a frenzy and give the Dodgers a 6-3 win. Freeman demolished the first pitch he saw from lefty Nestor Cortes, who was brought in to get Freeman and Shohei Ohtani out. The 35-year-old etches his name into the history books with this moment, becoming the first player to hit a walk-off grand slam in the World Series. What makes the moment even more surreal is that Freeman is nursing an ankle injury, akin to Kirk Gibson's famous walk-off homer in the 1988 Fall Classic where he was nursing multiple leg injuries. Freeman and the Dodgers will look to get back at it in Game 2 on Saturday.
