I work at LAX, I was out on the ramp loading a plane when I saw fireworks all over downtown light up , 2 mins later my coworker came out screaming GRANDSLAM!!! It was awesome watching the fireworks light up the LA sky knowing why
Seeing this in person, cheering with the crowd, and getting to do all of this with my family has been one of the best feelings I’ve ever had. This is one of the best hits ever in baseball.
That's how it was when the cubs turned 2 against y'all by me to win pennant and I'm in a South suburb of Chicago where it's a lot of white Sox fans. Sorry sure that's a bad memory for you but that's prolly wiped away by this
As a Dodger fan, I always admired Freddie even when he was in an Atlanta uniform. He fought hard to get himself into the lineup and he earned this moment
@@Leo-ks3tf ima say 2024 ws gm 1 grand slam was better cause i was not born in 1988 but i don't mind them saying 88 was still better but still historic
My gut is still twisted inside because of the stress and tension but yes what a beautiful game with us Dodgers fans so excited for this grand slam ending. As Freddy said, we still have three games to go! 💙💕
Yankees fan here, and that was spectacular. Kudos to Freddie and the Dodgers. That’ll be played in World Series highlights 25 years from now. The fans went wild. Gotta appreciate it!
One of the greatest endings to a baseball game in World Series history. I live 2 miles away from Dodgers Stadium and can see it from my house. I could hear the crowd roaring from my porch. The entire city erupted in fireworks. It was amazing.
I can't believe this happened. This was something straight out of the movies. First ever walk-off grand slam in a World Series game. And it was Freddie Freeman on an injured ankle! People will still be talking about this one 50 years from now. I'm so glad I watched this game live. It doesn't get any better than this.
That's true. Kirk Gibson's 1988 walk-off home run is still being talked about to this day. Very similar situation here. I mean, both players were injured, both hit walk off home runs, in game 1, at Dodgers stadium. This one is memorable because it's the first walk-off grand slam in the World Series. What a game!
That song just flips a switch inside my brain now. I was at this game and it will be the last thing I think of when I’m on my deathbed. Greatest moment of my life!!!!!!!
I still keep watching haha. This is the first championship in my lifetime (I’ve seen a few lakers titles obviously) that I keep just going back to and even weeks after the happiness hasn’t gone away
What crazy is that i watched kirk Gibson hit that home run with my pops in 1988..and i watched it with him happen again with Freeman..my pops is 90 years old
I won a bet with an A’s fan in 88 and won a Dodger’s Jacket , but it took weeks to get because everyone was sold out of XL Dodger jackets and I praise kirt Gibson for that victory and now it’s Freddy’s turn!!! Let’s Go Dodger’s, Let’s Go 💙💙💙
My Dad just passed away, but I remember being 10 yrs old & watching the Kirk Gibson HR with him - one of the most unreal moments in all of sports... and I'm a Cubs fan : ) Congrats on a crazy win tonight - he certainly hit that one on the sweet spot. I can't imagine how good that felt.
the pure emotion in this hit, his son fighting the neuro disease, his ankle, dude has overcome alot, such a rewarding feeling to have this happen for him. Can't wait for the rest of this series!! LFG LA!!!!!!
@@jesushelps lol he was a second round draft pick and grew up in Orange County. STOP IT. Obviously he did his thang and was killing it as a 8 year old to get where he is today but you cant twist that into dealing with adversity lmaooo. Hes had the rug rolled out before him his whole life purely because he can play and thats it.
Never saw a bar explode like the one I was at did. It was literally like 200 hundred people going nuts and embracing each other. It was the most magical moment since Gibson’s walk off home run in 1988. One of the best sports moments of my life. 😂
🎉Great. Thanks for being International. I'm from USA living in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 and watch cricket and football (soccer ⚽️ in USA) I enjoy the diversity
@@kingdoc3262 first World Series I watched was in 1996 was I was living in Germany , there were no English channels aparts from news stuff but it was on NBC . Braves v Yankees. Loved it ever since and been to a few stadiums in the USA whilst on holiday. Good you like cricket and soccer. ⚽️
Greetings from Los Angeles, California. Good to know they enjoy baseball on the other side of the pond. I’ve been to many places in the UK and I’ve seen people wear baseball caps. Newquay, Cornwall UK was my favorite place.
I attended the 1988 WS game and witnessed Gibson's home run from my Field Level season ticket seats on the first base side. Biggest thrill of my life attending any game and that includes watching a Koufax no hitter when I was a boy. To be fair, this was a hard-fought close game, well played by both teams, and I was on the edge of my seat for 10 innings. This now goes down as my second-best baseball game ever watched. Sorry, I am too old and frail to attend games anymore (nor can I afford the abominable ticket prices) so I saw this on television with all of you. Glad I lived long enough to see it. Go Dodgers!
I think it will go to seven games. Freeman repeated history today with his game winning grand slam bad ankle and all, just like Kirk Gibson did in 1988 with two bad knees. I like the Dodgers to win it all.
I'm a Brit who lives just 3 miles down the road from the Dodger's stadium and have done for 20 years. So I can't avoid being a big Dodgers fan! When I was in the UK I lived 4 miles down the road from Old Trafford, the Manchester United Stadium. So, I can say I have seen and heard some great occasions in sport, but Freddie's hit has to be the best, most memorable in any sport.
@@SoaringEagle47 Sorry to make it worse for you, but I used to work for a company who were sponsoring the lottery part of United (the building on the left as you walk towards the ground from Chester Road) so I got free tickets occasionally. I even presented one of those enormous cheques to the local children's hospital at half time in the centre circle. It's then I learned just how overpowering or encouraging it must be for players in front of 70,000 screaming fans. I wasn't playing and almost fell over under the emotion!
@@SoaringEagle47 Indeed they were good times. I remember one occasion where my seat was quite close to the sideline, and Giggs ran down the left to the goal line to whip a cross into the box and was clattered by their right back. And I mean 'clattered'. The sound of the collision was loud and watching on TV can't possibly convey the physicality of the game as a whole.
I used to think he was too self-centered, but God, how much I have changed my perception about this dodgers team. Freddy is such a baller. I am loving this dodgers team and this World series will be a thing to remember. What a game
You must have forgot when he made up a story and blamed his agent for him not signing with the braves, he wanted sympathy and threw his agent under the bus
What a fantastic call from Joe. Short but sweet and let the video and crowd noise tell the rest of the story. An old-school Scully-like call. Legendary stuff. Truly electric
lol, me too. Some of the things you notice during the replays add to the moment. Like @1:12, bottom, left of center, you see a dad lifting up his daughter and hugging and jumping and her with a big smile on her face, to think of the moment they just shared together.
Dodger fan here. Still can't believe Freddy is a Dodger. When he got here, he talked about his love for Atlanta which made Dodger fans appreciate Freddy even more.
I was staying at a motel and there wasn’t many channels on the tv, I ended up watching this live. I never really watched baseball and I got chills seeing this. I think I might become a baseball fan
yeah right, its gonna be played as much as kirk gibson's home run and i don't know of any highlite more played than gibson's home run, and this home run is in the same category, its not a top 100, its a top 10 easily...its gonna be played a shitloads for years and years to come..many years to come.
It’s honestly so surreal to know you just witnessed live what is no doubt an iconic moment in baseball and something that’s gonna be remembered and talked about for generations
It was great - like Kirk Gibson / 1988 great. And with baseball, something like that could carry LA to a series win, or disappear by the end of game 2. That's what makes the series great
You can see Freddie’s dad in the front row, right side of the screen as this entire play unfolds. He’s in a black jacket with white trim at the top. He is sitting down and it almost seems like he is so nervous he is unable to watch at first. Freddie cracks the ball and dad lifts his head. The person next to Freddie’s dad gave him a nudge in the side, and dad stood up to celebrate his son’s GS.
Damn. As if this wasn’t already an amazing moment. His dad couldn’t have possibly been in a better place his reaction makes this high light that will live on forever just that much better. There are no words to describe how incredible of a moment that was everything about it was amazing.
Fernando Venezuela was 63. The Dodgers won 6-3. The first glam slam in World Series history. This was no coincidence, it was Fernandomania from above! ❤🎉
Even as a padres fan, I can’t deny how awesome this moment was. Couldn’t have come from a better guy, Freddie is a true class act and an absolute warrior for hitting through injuries this postseason!
I’m a D-Backs fan who hates the Dodgers but I was jumping up and down going crazy when Freeman hit this! Instantly one of the most iconic moments in baseball history!
I’m a Dodger fan, but in 2001 I was rooting for the D-Backs. Is one of my favorite World Series. I still remember Luis Gonzalez hitting the blooper off Mariano Rivera
@@JesusWebster-kw3ivI second this. I was young and knew very little about the players on either side but man was I captivated by Randy Johnson and Schilling pitching against the Yankees. Been a fan of the game ever since.
@@Darvineb86 I hated the Yankees those years! I don’t know if you know that Tim McCarver predicted the ending of the game when he was narrating. Looks it up in UA-cam is awsome!
Phillies fan here. Hate to say it but i love this video. Such a great moment and for him to do it, it was awesome. Congrats. Hopefully we’ll see you guys next year in the Playoffs!! All Love
As a Braves fan I'm happy for Freddie... He was our undisputed captain, our general .. and we've been missing that the past 3 seasons.. He deserves another ring... Enjoy the moment Freddie... you deserve it!
Amazing game, amazing moment. First ever walk off grand slam in World Series history. Couldn't have been done by a better guy too, Freddie deserves this moment after everything that happened with his son.
Takes a lot to make a Brave root for a Dodger, but this is Freddie. He now goes down in Dodgers lore, on the night we honored my all time favorite Dodger, Fernando
As a fan of baseball, no matter who you are rooting for, we all must agree that the buildup for game 1 lived up to great expectations. You can’t script or want a better game 1 World Series. A great Pitching duel between Cole and Flaherty. Triples for the dodgers, hr from Stanton, base stealing for NY, Torres almost hitting a hr, extra innings (tie game), Yankees 10th inning go ahead, two out bottom 10th Grand Slam for the Dodger game 1 Win. Incredible start. I hope it goes 7 game series.
Nats fan here, and as much damage as he’s done to us for 15 years, I love this dude! Humble man, great father, and overall awesome person, couldn’t have had a better man take that swing!
@@Dealerplates420 excuse me. Is this the right place for your comment? Coz its far away from the discussion here or is this just a hater whose team have lost this game 1 only?
Life long Dodger fan here , 52 yrs old . I’ve seen both Gibson and Freeman’s homers and they are both legend . To happen to two great guys and to hit them almost in the same spot , in the right field pavilion, of game 1 , amazing. Gibson’s homer was more dramatic because he was severely injured and his at bat was about 8 or 9 pitches long and the anticipation was growing with each pitch . But all in all , both the homers took the life out of both teams , the A”s and the Yankees . Go blue !!
I’m a new fan of baseball. This is the only full season i have ever followed whole heartedly. That was something else. The tension, the drama it lived up to the hype.
This is the moment I knew we would win the world series. In a bar full of yankees fans, only one cheering for the Dodgers, this moment was sweet, with everyone going from celebrating early to being silent. Celebrating all the way from Jersey, Go Dodgers!!!
Finally got out of the stadium. What a magical night. I’ve been going to dodger Stadium since I was about seven years old. I am now 49 years old my first World Series attendance and the magic man Freddie Freeman made history something that may never happen again. GO DODGERS !!!!!!
Oh, and another person claiming to be here at the game. Wow, I can't believe how many people were going to say they were at the game when they were really not.
@@knowledgeispower3212 You must have a very sad life if you think people are lying about attending a game. One of my long time patients was kind enough to take me to the game and it was an experience I will never forget. I’m sorry you didn’t get to experience it. I’ve been to over 150 Dodgers games in my life and this was my first WS….section 57RS row EE. Not going to tell a fool the actual seat numbers, but Go Dodgers 💙 ⚾️
the setup from Joe Davis, the camera angles as Freddie walks up, the first pitch swing, I love LA playing as he rounds the bases, the pose, Nestor’s face walking off, THIS IS CINEMA
My brother in sportsdom... I feel for y'all. That was just brutal. I lived through the 1-15 Cowboys season in 1989 and the 3 straight 5-11 seasons to start the 2000s... and my Spurs are living that nightmare right now... take heart that it's only a season, there'll be more baseball when spring brings life back to the world.
I was in my office at work and let out the most silent scream known to mankind while pumping my fists in the air like a mad man. I had to remain professional and it was one of the hardest battles of my life lol. Go Dodgers. 3 more wins. Lets do it for Fernando Valenzuela as well as for the greatest City and fanbase in the world. LA, stand Up!!
As a general baseball fan, this is one of my secret dreams coming true - two powerhouse teams going head to head when it matters. This was an excellent Game 1- edge of my seat the whole time. October baseball is the best!!!
as a Dodger fan i loved it, but i was ready for Freddie to just pop up but dam did he surprise me. I actually did feel bad for Yankees fan because they were 1 out away from taking a 1-0 lead on the road. but i only felt bad for a second lol.
I was at this game with my son. This by far is going to be one of baseball best game ever and FORSURE a Dodgers best game ever. As a Dodger fan I will take this memory to the grave k owing that I experienced this live!! Still cant over this!! 😂😂😂
These last few WS have had some insane Game 1s man. Also, this is the first walk off grand slam in World Series history, and only the second in postseason history. Just amazing!
I've been saying this team reminds me of 1988 Dodgers.... Freddie limps to the plate and walks off game 1 just like Kirk Gibson! Even hit it to the same spot! This team is destined!
I was at that '88 game. Only World Series game I attended. Still have the ticket stub. Sat underneath the right field scoreboard. It was a magical moment for sure!
I was 16 years old when I was in front of the TV watching a hobbled Kirk Gibson crack a Dennis Eckersley pitch deep to right field in a walk-off for the 1988 World Series. Broadcaster Vin Scully said "she is gooooone!". 36 years later, I burned both my sons ears out talking about that memory at 16. Freddie Freeman steps up, cracks the first pitch deep to right field for the 1st walk-off grand slam in WS history while broadcaster Joe Davis says "she is goooone!!" as an ode to Vin Scully followed by "Gibby (Kirk Gibson) meet Freddie!!!" On a day Fernando Valenzuela would have thrown out the first pitch having passed away three days prior. He was 63 years old, the Dodgers won 6-3.The spirit of Tommy Lasorda and Fernando Valenzuela was out there tonight. Baseball couldn't get any more poetic than this moment.
one of the most amazing moments in sports i've ever seen live
A moment he will remember for the rest of his life
Beautiful. Gibby meet Freddy…
I yelled my family told me what’s happening 😂
Dodgers and Yankees have the best WS games of all time to match their reputation.
Brian Anderson would’ve had a crazy call
I work at LAX, I was out on the ramp loading a plane when I saw fireworks all over downtown light up , 2 mins later my coworker came out screaming GRANDSLAM!!! It was awesome watching the fireworks light up the LA sky knowing why

@@dannysunay4386 Tf is the matter with you.
Did the passenger complain that their luggage didn't arrive ?
Seeing this in person, cheering with the crowd, and getting to do all of this with my family has been one of the best feelings I’ve ever had. This is one of the best hits ever in baseball.
You are so lucky to have been there in person! The roar of the crowd must have been deafening!
Must've been an amazing experience! 👏
I told my passenger today that she was going to see something special. She was going to the game.
What a moment to see live!! Happy you stayed like a true fan
Yeah I was there and even though I’m a Yankees fan it was one of the most insane moments and games I’ve ever witnessed
It's January 2025, and I'm still watching this multiple times a day.
Slam heard around the world
Never gets old, and I'm a Mets fan.
I've probably watched this highlight more than any home run other than Cal Raleigh ending the Mariners' playoff drought.
I'm a Giants fan and I can't stop watching this
I was sitting outside when this happened. Hearing every house in my city screaming with excitement is something I’ll never forget….crazy.
You're Words got me Visualized the scenario - almost tears here , what a rush if you could hear every house
You idiot, you missed it!! Story of my life..
Amazing ❤
That's how it was in 88 when Gibby hit it
That's how it was when the cubs turned 2 against y'all by me to win pennant and I'm in a South suburb of Chicago where it's a lot of white Sox fans. Sorry sure that's a bad memory for you but that's prolly wiped away by this
I lost my dad a year ago… Freddie was his favorite player. I couldn’t have imagined a better game 1 ending. I know my dad is smiling. 💙
God bless you and your family. Baseball is special.
He's got to be smiling from ear to ear.
Dude smoked that ball first pitch...awesome game
Condolences to you and your family. 😟
💙💙
As a Braves fan, I am so happy for Freddie. He 100% deserves this. He’s such an amazing player and person.
Freddie's homerun reminds me of 1988 Kirk Gibson's homerun, both with leg injury down in the ninth inning and wins it with a dramatic homerun.
As a Dodger fan, I always admired Freddie even when he was in an Atlanta uniform. He fought hard to get himself into the lineup and he earned this moment
I was rooting for the Yankees as a Braves fan who grew up in the north east. I was happy for Freeman at the end
@@Leo-ks3tf ima say 2024 ws gm 1 grand slam was better cause i was not born in 1988 but i don't mind them saying 88 was still better but still historic

Look at every fan's face.

What a beautiful game.
My gut is still twisted inside because of the stress and tension but yes what a beautiful game with us Dodgers fans so excited for this grand slam ending. As Freddy said, we still have three games to go! 💙💕
well yeah thats how people react when things go their way. the fans wanted him to hit it and he did. exciting but not super deep
Reminded me of Gibson.

I used to think he was too self-centered, but God, how much I have changed my perception about this dodgers team. Freddy is such a baller. I am loving this dodgers team and this World series will be a thing to remember. What a game
cancer or gets struck by lightning
You must have forgot when he made up a story and blamed his agent for him not signing with the braves, he wanted sympathy and threw his agent under the bus
What a fantastic call from Joe. Short but sweet and let the video and crowd noise tell the rest of the story. An old-school Scully-like call. Legendary stuff. Truly electric
Learned from the best.
@@bcabrera971 Joe Davis....is as good as you can get to replace legendary Vin Scully who will always be the best baseball announcer ever.
Vin Scully was his mentor so it makes sense.
Everyone overlooked Freeman because he was hurt.
He proved everyone wrong.
First walk-off grand slam in World Series history!!
I think he's faking his injury to make him look like a liability. Just kidding, Freddie is awesome! 😊
he did it for his son. badaSS!
The only win the dodgers will get

Don't be betting your house on that.....
When stuff like this happens, I love watching replays just to see the faces of the fans. That’s the best part for me.
You are not alone, so do I.❤ it.
Yessss I thought I was weird doing that lol
The reaction of Cortes tho 😮
Me too😂😂😂😂😂
lol, me too. Some of the things you notice during the replays add to the moment. Like @1:12, bottom, left of center, you see a dad lifting up his daughter and hugging and jumping and her with a big smile on her face, to think of the moment they just shared together.
braves fan here- so happy for Freddie man
Same here but at same time we fighting our fist in the air rn because braves lost an opportunity to keep Freddie freeman
He's not winning a ring.
@@bryanpangburn1344 he already has, and has a decent chance at another one
Dodger fan here. Still can't believe Freddy is a Dodger. When he got here, he talked about his love for Atlanta which made Dodger fans appreciate Freddy even more.
@@bryanpangburn1344he already has one 😑 with my braves and the dodgers are winning the WS watch
I was staying at a motel and there wasn’t many channels on the tv, I ended up watching this live. I never really watched baseball and I got chills seeing this. I think I might become a baseball fan
Freeman will always be remembered for this moment. Top 100 moments in sports for sure
U meant top 50 i believe lol
yeah right, its gonna be played as much as kirk gibson's home run and i don't know of any highlite more played than gibson's home run, and this home run is in the same category, its not a top 100, its a top 10 easily...its gonna be played a shitloads for years and years to come..many years to come.
It’s honestly so surreal to know you just witnessed live what is no doubt an iconic moment in baseball and something that’s gonna be remembered and talked about for generations
It will be forgotten when the Yankees come back and smoke these fools
I feel exactly the same 😊😊😊😊😊
No it won’t it would be forgotten in a couple years
@@joseluna8607 the first walk off grand slam in world series history will not be "forgotten in a couple years"...
@@joseluna8607Whatever helps you sleep at night 😂
Spectacular win.
Devastating loss.
Win or lose the world series, this walk-off will remain in history as one of the greatest. ✌🏻
If they lose the series, nobody will care. And a 2 run single would have been just as good
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew it wouldnt hurt as much for the yankees so no this is way better !!!
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnewFreddie will care, nobody can take that moment away from him.
@@jethroscooter7214 I wouldn’t want a player who cares more about individual feats than winning a series.
It was great - like Kirk Gibson / 1988 great. And with baseball, something like that could carry LA to a series win, or disappear by the end of game 2. That's what makes the series great
I never get tired of watching this video.
I will watch this forever
Neither will I
Yankees fan. Freddie deserves this. He's a great ball player and a better man.
Good of you to say, man. Means a lot.
Facts!
Agreed. Perhaps, one of the greatest men is sports.
Every fan base has bad apples but the Yankees got some very classy fans i can respect that 👍🏻
@@markroberts928 thanks bro.
You can see Freddie’s dad in the front row, right side of the screen as this entire play unfolds. He’s in a black jacket with white trim at the top. He is sitting down and it almost seems like he is so nervous he is unable to watch at first. Freddie cracks the ball and dad lifts his head. The person next to Freddie’s dad gave him a nudge in the side, and dad stood up to celebrate his son’s GS.
Absolutely amazing moment as a father
Damn. As if this wasn’t already an amazing moment. His dad couldn’t have possibly been in a better place his reaction makes this high light that will live on forever just that much better. There are no words to describe how incredible of a moment that was everything about it was amazing.
Thank you for that detail
Is he next to the guy in the pink shirt?
@@redpillfreedom6692yep, next to the guy in the pink hoodie. I found out it’s his dad when I watched them interview him after the game.
Fernando Venezuela was 63. The Dodgers won 6-3. The first glam slam in World Series history. This was no coincidence, it was Fernandomania from above! ❤🎉
This is beautiful
Nice dude
Wow that is scary 😮 the tribute then the walk off.
OMG😭😭
Great observation.
Baseball Rocks!!
Even as a padres fan, I can’t deny how awesome this moment was. Couldn’t have come from a better guy, Freddie is a true class act and an absolute warrior for hitting through injuries this postseason!
I will forever remember this game and Mr. Freddie Freeman.
Freddie , Freddie did pow. 😂😂😂
The Yankees walked Mookie Betts and then Freddie Freedman made them pay, while the Dodgers walk Soto the choker Judge pops up or strikesout 😅
@@jefferson-fm8wh LOL. I still think it was the right decision to walk Betts, but the Dodgers lineup is dangerous.
Me and my dad were jumping up and down yelling for 2 minutes strait. Wish grandpa was here to watch with us 💙💙⚾⚾
You weren't there, stop lying
Was he there for 2020?
He is in spirit Godbless enjoy this moment hope your Dodgers take it all the way!
@@knowledgeispower3212Did he say he was at the game in person? You know there’s this thing called TV
@@knowledgeispower3212TV exists, call a doctor and check your brain
I’m a D-Backs fan who hates the Dodgers but I was jumping up and down going crazy when Freeman hit this! Instantly one of the most iconic moments in baseball history!
Honestly You Can Like Both As A Californian & Local Arizonian It’s Best of Both 🌍s
I’m a Dodger fan, but in 2001 I was rooting for the D-Backs. Is one of my favorite World Series. I still remember Luis Gonzalez hitting the blooper off Mariano Rivera
@@JesusWebster-kw3ivI second this. I was young and knew very little about the players on either side but man was I captivated by Randy Johnson and Schilling pitching against the Yankees. Been a fan of the game ever since.
@@Darvineb86 I hated the Yankees those years! I don’t know if you know that Tim McCarver predicted the ending of the game when he was narrating. Looks it up in UA-cam is awsome!
No need to hate the teams when you love the game
Phillies fan here. Hate to say it but i love this video. Such a great moment and for him to do it, it was awesome. Congrats. Hopefully we’ll see you guys next year in the Playoffs!! All Love
This is like the 50th time I’ve watched this. I can’t stop watching.
Never gets old.
As a Braves fan I'm happy for Freddie... He was our undisputed captain, our general .. and we've been missing that the past 3 seasons.. He deserves another ring... Enjoy the moment Freddie... you deserve it!
It’s just 1 game at home. Or am I missing something.
@@marvymarv959this is what kids dream off playing in the mlb, bottom of the inning , 2outs , bases loaded in the WORLD SERIES!!
I'm a Braves fan too and everything you said is 100% correct. Freddie is still my fav player. I hope he ends his career with Braves
It's unbelievable！
A game that will go down in baseball history.
Not nearly as intense as the Kirk Gibson HR
Amazing game, amazing moment. First ever walk off grand slam in World Series history. Couldn't have been done by a better guy too, Freddie deserves this moment after everything that happened with his son.
That was an absolutely epic game.
I watched this 20 times now, lol, that was an absolute bomb by Freddie!!❤
He did Square that up ... absolute LINE DRIVE
I think I’ve watched it like 40 times it’s insane 😅🙌🏾
He knew it was gone instantly. Said "it didn't even feel it"
Braves fan here... I miss you Freddie. Love you 🤟😘
Takes a lot to make a Brave root for a Dodger, but this is Freddie. He now goes down in Dodgers lore, on the night we honored my all time favorite Dodger, Fernando
Sports and music can just give you the most crazy indescribable feelings ever.
As a fan of baseball, no matter who you are rooting for, we all must agree that the buildup for game 1 lived up to great expectations. You can’t script or want a better game 1 World Series. A great Pitching duel between Cole and Flaherty. Triples for the dodgers, hr from Stanton, base stealing for NY, Torres almost hitting a hr, extra innings (tie game), Yankees 10th inning go ahead, two out bottom 10th Grand Slam for the Dodger game 1 Win. Incredible start. I hope it goes 7 game series.
And for anyone who hates the Yankees it gives you goosebumps ☺️
Screw them stankin dodgers! Yanks in 5

For sure
He is one of best people in the sport. Happy for him. 😊
But he is not your savior 🎉
@@Dealerplates420 excuse me. Is this the right place for your comment? Coz its far away from the discussion here or is this just a hater whose team have lost this game 1 only?
@@Dealerplates420 It's Freddy Freeman again 😉
Life long Dodger fan here , 52 yrs old . I’ve seen both Gibson and Freeman’s homers and they are both legend . To happen to two great guys and to hit them almost in the same spot , in the right field pavilion, of game 1 , amazing. Gibson’s homer was more dramatic because he was severely injured and his at bat was about 8 or 9 pitches long and the anticipation was growing with each pitch . But all in all , both the homers took the life out of both teams , the A”s and the Yankees .
Go blue !!
I’m a new fan of baseball. This is the only full season i have ever followed whole heartedly. That was something else. The tension, the drama it lived up to the hype.
It's a great game!
WHAT AN ENDING BROOOOOOOOO
IKR
Only way it woulda been more perfect is if it was against them cheatin Astros
@@BraddahDaIzLivesare you just upset about game 2, 7 years ago today? Yes Astros cheated but didn’t benefit much from it
This is why I love baseball, baseball is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get
That was the best moment I’ve ever seen in baseball. Congrats Freddie you deserve it !!
Weeks later and im still watching this with the emotion still registering as I watch. Great moment in sports history.
Beautiful swing.
What a moment for him
Dam , dam 😮
What an amazing gift to his family, the fans, and Valenzuela's memory.
Flashback to 1988 , left handed batter with a bum leg and a walk off home run almost to the same spot . Nostalgia at its finest !!!!!
I nearly got killed in Rickey's when I bet fifty bucks he'd hit it out against Eckersley. I was wearing a Giants hat...
Kirk Gibson es el jugador que tu mencionas me tocó vivir ese momento en vivo y hoy este momento también
Dogers vs Oakland?
A toda madre carnal , dos gran memorias en la vida deportiva de los Dodgers .
@@davidhan9979 yup
Joe Davis not only acknowledges Vinny with "SHE IS GONE!" He also asks Smoltz "Would you say you don't believe what you just saw"?

“Right field….she isssssss gonnneee…”
That’s some great broadcasting there. Tying this together with a signature Dodger moment from 1988…

I also appreciate the broadcasters staying silent after the call and letting the moment speak for itself!
IN A YEAR THAT HAS BEEN SO IMPROBABLE THE IMPOSSIBLE HAS HAPPENED!!
@@frankiegreen5047They're going crazy and wild at Dodger Stadium, nobody wants to leave their seats!
The amount of times I had to replay is crazy. The chills in my chest 😂 crazy moment

💯💯💯
I’m a Red Sox fan. And seeing Freedie Freeman pumped up and yelling is just special 🎉
Me too. Just amazing to see!
Same here. I thought I was watching Kirk Gibson in 88 all over again. It was amazing
It’s so nice that our hatred for the Yankees gives us a buy in for the joy
orioles fan here, the fact this happened against the yanks just made it that much sweeter for me.
✨go dodgers!✨
I jumped off the couch in excitement
My goodness...I can watch this a billion times. What a game!
Finally got out of the stadium. What a magical night. I’ve been going to dodger Stadium since I was about seven years old. I am now 49 years old my first World Series attendance and the magic man Freddie Freeman made history something that may never happen again. GO DODGERS !!!!!!
😂😂 Thanks for the update. Glad you made it out safe. Go Dodgers 🔵⚪️
Oh, and another person claiming to be here at the game. Wow, I can't believe how many people were going to say they were at the game when they were really not.
Reminiscent of the 80s Lakers in the finals with Randy Newman's I LOVE L.A. playing
@@knowledgeispower3212 You must have a very sad life if you think people are lying about attending a game. One of my long time patients was kind enough to take me to the game and it was an experience I will never forget. I’m sorry you didn’t get to experience it. I’ve been to over 150 Dodgers games in my life and this was my first WS….section 57RS row EE. Not going to tell a fool the actual seat numbers, but Go Dodgers 💙 ⚾️
the setup from Joe Davis, the camera angles as Freddie walks up, the first pitch swing, I love LA playing as he rounds the bases, the pose, Nestor’s face walking off, THIS IS CINEMA
Randy Newman - I love LA, playing at the exact moment is just gold
Exactly what I was thinking. The timing was so perfect.
Thank you!! I was looking for this
As a White Sox fan, I am so happy to finally be watching high quality baseball! What a game!
My brother in sportsdom... I feel for y'all. That was just brutal.
I lived through the 1-15 Cowboys season in 1989 and the 3 straight 5-11 seasons to start the 2000s... and my Spurs are living that nightmare right now... take heart that it's only a season, there'll be more baseball when spring brings life back to the world.
You deserve better as a team. Tim was supposed to be better
Respect to White Sox fans. Hang in there.
GO BLUE!
THIS FELT LIKE A MOVIE!!!
Gibby MEET Freddie! I am old enough to say I seen both LOVE IT
I was in my office at work and let out the most silent scream known to mankind while pumping my fists in the air like a mad man. I had to remain professional and it was one of the hardest battles of my life lol. Go Dodgers. 3 more wins. Lets do it for Fernando Valenzuela as well as for the greatest City and fanbase in the world. LA, stand Up!!
As a general baseball fan, this is one of my secret dreams coming true - two powerhouse teams going head to head when it matters. This was an excellent Game 1- edge of my seat the whole time. October baseball is the best!!!

That was a no-doubter. Freddie's swing is so majestic. Couldn't be happier for him - and the Dodgers.
I don’t get tired replaying it over and over again.
This will be remembered for years and years and years and years and years to come.
Can't stop re-watching this...
These last few WS have had some insane Game 1s man. Also, this is the first walk off grand slam in World Series history, and only the second in postseason history. Just amazing!

I just keep rewatching over n over. Amazing !Go Dodgers!
I was 16 years old when I was in front of the TV watching a hobbled Kirk Gibson crack a Dennis Eckersley pitch deep to right field in a walk-off for the 1988 World Series. Broadcaster Vin Scully said "she is gooooone!". 36 years later, I burned both my sons ears out talking about that memory at 16. Freddie Freeman steps up, cracks the first pitch deep to right field for the 1st walk-off grand slam in WS history while broadcaster Joe Davis says "she is goooone!!" as an ode to Vin Scully followed by "Gibby (Kirk Gibson) meet Freddie!!!" On a day Fernando Valenzuela would have thrown out the first pitch having passed away three days prior. He was 63 years old, the Dodgers won 6-3.The spirit of Tommy Lasorda and Fernando Valenzuela was out there tonight. Baseball couldn't get any more poetic than this moment.
After everything he went through. To see this is nothing short of a legendary moment. One of the top plays in mlb history💯 And i’m a giants fan LOL
One of the top greatest moments 💙Thank you Freddie. Let's Go Dodgers 💙💙💙
Never get tired of watching this! And proud to say I was in attendance for this game!
