Let me tell you that I’m old enough to tell you I saw Fernando Valenzuela pitch that incredible game in 1981 Fernando using 149 pitches to keep the Yankees at bay winning 4to5 , years later 1988 Kirk Gibson with injuries to both his legs hit that incredible home run to win over the Oakland A’s ,and now Freddy Freeman’s bases loaded walks up to the plate with a chance to make history and all it too for him one pitch , one perfect swing of the bat and one monster of a grand slam home run , all I saw was Fernando’s smiling and cheering , Freeman on from heaven , we will never forget you Fernando thanks to all for the memories.
I honestly can't believe that I saw Freddie pull a Gibby. My parents, grandparents and family were around for Kirk Gibson's walk-off home run in game one of the 1988 World Series and now I get to witness this at 28 years old. What made this moment so much sweeter is how Joe Davis paid homage to Vin Scully by saying those famous and iconic words "Freddie hits it to right field, SHE IS....GONE!!!!" Talk about emotional. My parents and I were screaming and shouting in excitement and disbelief at the T.V.. On top of that, the score is something incredible because Fernando passed away at 63 and the final score was 6-3. They were both with us this entire game. Job's not done yet though, three more to go. Go Dodgers!
I'm a Phillies fan, but Freeman was ALWAYS my favorite player. Real talk 💯 I'm very happy for him and the Dodgers.
As a Yankees fan I was livid in the moment BUT man that was so freaking cool to see. Mad respect for the Dodgers for pulling that off!
what a game. Dodgers did it again. Ohtani's double/triple at ninth inning bring Dodgers back from loosing game 1 and Freedman's grand slam at 10th inning swung at first pitch just epic. Remind me of Kirk Gibson in 1989 Dodgers vs Oakland.
1988: Kirk Gibson, so banged up that he wasn't in the dugout, got fired up by the TV saying he was "nowhere to be found". He stormed to the batting cages to take practice swings. In the bottom of the 9th with the Athletics leading 4-3, he limped to the batter's box, fought off pitch after pitch from the Athletics' ace closer Dennis Eckersley, then swung off-balance at a backdoor slider, sending it to the right field pavilion, winning game 1 for the Dodgers.. 2024: Freddie Freeman, enduring an ankle injury and some scary moments during the regular season, walked up to the plate with the bases loaded and 2 out in the bottom of the 10th, Yankees leading 3-2. He swings at the first pitch and crushes a come-from-behind, walkoff grand slam to win game 1 for the Dodgers.
MLB script writers cooked with this one 🔥
I’m rewatching this game after game 5. That grand slam home run in the bottom of the 9th with two outs will be forever remembered.
I swear the MLB has the best post season atmospheres in professional sports. You can feel the tension in the crowd from these highlights.
This game singlehandedly brought back countless baseball fans that had lost their love of the game. Amazing.
Every kid dreams of exactly this. Every kid dreams of bases loaded, walk off grand slam in the world series. Freddie living a literal kid's dream. So cool
I just got back from the game. I will never forget this night as long as I live.
I was reffing a high school football game in El Monte CA tonight, and at halftime I was told it was 3-2 Yankees in the top of the 10th. Just as we were lining up for the 2nd half kickoff, the stadium announcer calls out, "Grand slam, Freddy Freeman! Dodgers win!" The whole stadium erupted! Even the players on the field were cheering. Then, all over the city, fireworks! I think there are some Dodger fans here.
Watching in Australia, first game I have seen live, that was phenomenal, one of the best sporting events I have ever watched. Imagine a few first timers here.
Watching live in England, brilliant sporting spectacle. Baseball is massively underrated. What a game !!!!
Freddie Freeman’s grand slam in the World Series today was nothing short of legendary. After overcoming personal challenges, his son’s illness and an ankle injury, he truly embodied perseverance. It felt like the entire season had led to this moment, and he delivered spectacularly. His ability to perform under pressure is a testament to his skill and character. This game reminded us why we love baseball. The thrill of unexpected moments, the stories of resilience, and the passion players like Freeman bring to the field. What a fantastic display of talent and heart! This one is for the books. Let’s Go Dodgers!
Watching from Ireland 🇮🇪 Incredible game, from Stanton’s jaw-dropping bomb to Freeman’s emotional walk-off, what an unbelievable series we have in store
This is the first baseball game I’ve ever watched in my life. I’m not going to lie, this was spectacular. Wow never thought I’d say that about baseball
