Freddie Freeman's walk-off World Series grand slam sold at auction for record amount.
Freddie Freeman's ball from the only walk-off grand slam in World Series history sold for $1.56 million in SCP Auctions' December Dynasty Auction over the weekend.
That surpassed the $1.5 million that Aaron Judge's 62nd home run ball sold for in December 2022, though it fell short of the all-time record of $3 million, which is what Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball from the 1998 season sold for in '99.
10-year-old Zach Ruderman scrambled for the rolling ball from between the seats as every fan before him bobbled it. He knocked it over to his dad.
Feeman hit the first pitch from Nestor Cortes 413 feet for the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history.
The Dodgers won the game 6-3 and went on to claim the franchise's eighth World Series championship in five games.
It's the second ball connected to the Dodgers to be auctioned this season.
The ball hit by Shohei Ohtani that made him the first player in major league history with at least 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season sold for nearly $4.4 million. It set a record for the sale of any sports ball.
Freddie's moment with his father after he crossed home plate hits you right in the feels.
