Freddie Freeman’s Grand Slam for Dodgers Will Be Immortalized in MLB Hall of Fame

Freddie Freeman etched his name in baseball history Friday night. His walk-off grand slam in Game 1 of the World Series will be immortalized in Cooperstown.

The cleats that ran around the bases as Dodger Stadium roared and the entire city of Los Angeles watched, will now go into the Hall of Fame, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale.

Freeman produced the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history. Additionally, the first baseman’s feat was the first World Series walk-off home run on the first pitch since Mickey Mantle in 1964.

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ 6-3 win over the New York Yankees had uncanny parallels to World Series wins of the past.
