Freddie Freeman reacted from the heart to the Incredible Walk-Off Grand Slam on Friday

The Los Angeles Dodgers stunned the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night, winning 6-3 in 10 innings.

Trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the tenth, Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman hit a two-out grand slam off Yankees lefty Nestor Cortes. The Yankees had intentionally walked Mookie Betts right in front of Freeman to load the bases.

Freeman has been a shell of himself this postseason due to ankle issues, but he delivered in the biggest way Friday. With the win, the Dodgers are now three wins away from their first World Series title since the COVID-shortened 2020 season.

After the game, Freeman candidly reacted to the moment in an on-field interview with FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal.

To @MLBONFOX on social media:

“(My dad) has been there since I was a little kid, throwing me batting practice every day. This isn’t my time, it’s his time.” @FreddieFreeman5 joins @Ken_Rosenthal after walk-off grand slam in Game 1 for the @Dodgers !

Freeman also thanked the crowd for their support as his son battled health issues in the second half of the season. After also winning a World Series with the 2021 Atlanta Braves, Freeman is going for his second career title.

Game 2 of the series will be played Saturday night in Los Angeles with first pitch at 8:08 PM ET. Right-hand man Yoshinobu Yamamoto will pitch for TO against Carlos Rodon for the Yankees.
