First Pitch: Walk Off

Freddie Freeman hit a grand slam to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a win in game one of the World Series.

I have a difficult time getting into this World Series, and Freeman might be an example of why. He signed a six year, $162 million deal with the Dodgers ahead of the 2022 season. The deal includes $57 million of deferred money, but makes Freeman the second-highest paid first baseman.

As a fan of small market teams, it’s difficult for me to get into this mega-market World Series between Los Angeles and the New York Yankees.
