Many of you watched Game One of the World Series, a classic game that ended when the Dodgers Freddie Freeman slammed a walk-off grand slam home run with two outs in the bottom of the tenth inning. Freeman’s game-winning blast overshadowed a fantastic catch by New York left fielder Alex Verdugo on a Shohei Ohtani fly ball that drifted into the stands. Tough break for Verdugo, whose catch will forever be forgotten, much like Bernie Carbo’s Game Six eighth-inning, pinch-hit three-run home run in the 1975 Series, which was eclipsed by Carlton Fisk’ hand-waving heroics in the twelfth. Both games were classics in a true sense, and whoever was lucky enough to witness them will remember them forever.
