The sports world reacts to Freddie Freeman’s walk-off grand slam

If you stayed up through extra innings in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night, you saw a historic moment in baseball.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman stepped up to the plate after the New York Yankees decided to intentionally walk teammate Mookie Betts in the bottom of the 10th inning.

Freeman must have made the decision to throw to him personally, because the very next ball he saw, he dove into the right field seats and cleared the bases for a walk-off grand slam—the first of his kind in a World Series ever.

Social media caught fire in reaction to Freeman’s historic, game-winning home run. Celebrities, sports stars and legends of the game all weighed in to congratulate him and express their awe at his clutch moment.
