LOS ANGELES — Yankees-Dodgers is a World Series matchup made in history, so it's fitting that Game 1 was an instant classic.
Here are four takeaways from the Dodgers' 6-3 win in 10 innings. 1. Freddie Freeman delivers a swing for the ages All he needed was the fist pump.
In a swing reminiscent of Kirk Gibson's iconic blast in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series, Freddie Freeman, unable to play in the last game of the NLCS due to his injured ankle, conjured memories of Gibson's blast with a walk-off home run in the first game of the 2024 World Series.
Freeman missed both Games 4 and 6 of the NLCS because the issues with his injured ankle, which he had dealt with all postseason, was starting to leak into his swing.
