We’ve officially made it to the World Series, and, for better or worse, it’s between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off grand slam in the 10th inning to the give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. It was Freeman’s first home run of the 2024 postseason after spraining his ankle in the final week, and it was also the first-ever walk-off grand slam in World Series history. The series will continue in LA tomorrow.
