Freddie Freeman said prior to the World Series that he and his injured ankle would be 'a 100% go' for Game 1.
He wasn't kidding.
The Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman crushed a walk-off grand slam in a 6-3 victory over the New York Yankees to open the Fall Classic, forging his own historic moment for a franchise that has witnessed so many.
Here are the best views from around Dodger Stadium, and the reactions to the incredible moment.
'She is gone! Gibby meet Freddie!'
The Spanish call might be even better
From the 'cheap' seats ...
... and the more expensive ones
Shohei Ohtani couldn't believe it happened ...
... Aaron Boone wished it didn't
Even former Braves teammate Ozzie Albies was there
Freeman got to share the moment with his dad ...
... and capped his night with a kiss
"Those are the kind of things, when you're five years old with your two older brothers and you're playing wiffle ball in the backyard, those are the scenarios you dream about, two outs, bases loaded in a World Series game," Freeman said postgame.
"For it to actually happen and get a home run and walk it off to give us a 1-0 lead, that's as good as it gets right there."
