Freddie Freeman lives dream with World Series grand slam

LA Times  

By the time Freddie Freeman walked into the interview room at Dodger Stadium on Friday night, he’d already been mobbed by his teammates at home plate, embraced everyone from reliever Blake Treinen to owner Mark Walter, run to the backstop to the share the moment with his father, had a five-gallon water cooler emptied on him in the middle of a nationally televised interview, received a bear hug from behind by Mookie Betts, dropped by his locker and walked down a hallway decorated with replicas of trophies and plaques won by the franchise’s greatest players. “When you’re 5 years old with your two 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. Rounding the bases, Freeman reported, “It felt like nothing, just kind of floating.” Asked about Kirk Gibson’s pinch-hit, walk-off home run for the Dodgers in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series, Freeman joked, “I played the whole game, though.” That in itself was an achievement. Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen hugs Freddie Freeman at the end of the Dodgers’ win in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday.
