Gibby, meet Freddie.
Detroit Tigers legend Kirk Gibson — wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey — threw a surprise ceremonial first pitch to Dodgers superstar Freddie Freeman ahead of Thursday's Opening Day game at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
Gibson and Freeman hugged after the first pitch.
Both players hit legendary walk-off home runs over the right-field wall at Dodger Stadium in Game 1 of the World Series for the Dodgers, separated by 36 years — Gibson in 1988 and Freeman in 2024.
