DBD CLASSICS: "Let Freeman Ring"

With the Dodgers winning the National League pennant in a historic game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Dodger Stadium on Friday night — in which Shohei Ohtani went 6 shutout innings, struck out 10, and got the win as a the starting pitcher; and also hit 3 tape-measure home runs — the Dodgers are advancing to the 2025 World Series. To get ready for the Fall Classic, which starts Friday night, we look back on last year's iconic Game 1 of the 2024 World Series, with this DBD Classic re-broadcast.  Originally published October 28, 2024. As the World Series heads to the Bronx for game 3 tonight, October 28, 2024, let's take a look back on the story of the first two games, which were played in L.A. The afterglow of game 1 is strong for Richard, who attended with his sister, and witnessed history when Freddie Freeman became the first person in Major League history to hit a walk-off grand slam homerun to win a World Series game, in a moment that mirrors the most-famous homerun in Los Angeles Dodgers history: Kirk Gibson's walk-off homer to win game 1 of the 1988 World Series. (And Richard called it.) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
