Freddie Freeman's historic walk-off grand slam ball from Game 1 of the World Series is set to be auctioned off. The Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman made baseball history when he hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 10th inning against the New York Yankees, securing the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history. This momentous event led to Freeman being named World Series MVP, as the Dodgers went on to win the game 6-3 and claim their eighth World Series championship in five games.
The ball, which landed in the right-field pavilion after being hit 413 feet by Freeman, was caught by 10-year-old Zachary Ruderman. Zachary, who thought he was leaving school early to get his braces removed, found himself at Dodger Stadium instead, where he ended up with the historic ball. The ball is now up for auction by SCP Auctions from December 4-14, with the company's president estimating its value to be in the seven figures.
