Freddie Freeman's walk-off grand slam in Game 1 of the 2024 World Series was more than just a game-winning home run. It was a moment between a father and a son, specifically Freeman and his own father, to whom he dedicated the incredible moment in appreciation for his dad being there over the years spent playing baseball as a child.
But Freeman's iconic grand slam was also a powerful moment for another father and his children. Appearing on an episode of the podcast Dugout Discussions With Chris Rose, Freeman was asked if anyone approached him with a cool memory or story about the grand slam. The '24 World Series MVP proceeded to tell a powerful story about how his World Series heroics sparked a man to quit drinking alcohol.
