If the Yankees and Dodgers can come anywhere close to the drama and excitement of Game 1 again in this World Series, baseball fans will be rejoicing. Freddie Freeman's epic, walk-off grand slam to lift the Dodgers to a 6-3 win and a 1-0 lead in the series was the first walk-off grand slam in the World Series, and it came on the very first pitch Nestor Cortes threw to him.
While the good news for the Dodgers is that they're up 1-0 in the World Series, thanks to Freeman's epic Kirk Gibson impression (h/t Joe Davis for his Vin Scully nod), the good news for the Yankees is that it counts for only one, and New York can still take home-field advantage in the series with a win Saturday.
