Dec 15, 2024, 06:15 PM
Freddie Freeman's historic walk-off grand slam ball from Game 1 of the 2024 World Series has been sold at auction for $1.56 million. This sale marks the ball as the third most expensive game-used ball ever sold. The grand slam, which contributed to the Los Angeles Dodgers' 6-3 victory over the New York Yankees, was hit off the first pitch thrown by Nestor Cortes and traveled 413 feet into the right-field stands. The auction saw intense bidding, extending the closing time by approximately three hours, although the identity of the buyer has not been disclosed. Freeman's grand slam is notable not only for its price but also for being the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history, further solidifying its significance in baseball memorabilia.
