“I don’t really remember it, I kinda blacked out,” Freeman said. “You’re trying to remember the feeling and I can’t. I usually look away to just drive the ball to left center. And I was like, ‘You know what? I’m going to switch to this up and I’m going to look closer to me.’ So I was looking heater in, to like up and in, and I guessed right. He threw it right in the spot I was looking. I knew it was gone right when I hit it. And I don’t know why I went statue of liberty (pose) or anything like that. I don’t pimp home runs. I don’t do that. I usually just hit ’em and run around the bases. But I mean, walk-off grand slam in the World Series, right?”

The World Series MVP explained what happened once he began running around the bases as the Dodger Stadium crowd erupted in cheers.

“That’s the only style I got, is walking and pointing my bat. I got nothing else. Usually we wave at the bullpen, they were going nuts. That’s why I just went like, ‘Ahhhh!’ Like I started screaming at ’em. I obviously got to home plate. Miguel Rojas goes like: ‘Freddie stop jumping, I don’t want you to get hurt.’ And I look at him and said, ‘I don’t feel a thing.’ I’m just screaming at him.”

It was evident that no moment was too big for Freeman, a player the New York Yankees chose to face by intentionally walking Mookie Betts to load the bases.

Before heading to the dugout, Freeman made sure to greet his father with an exuberant scream.

“I knew my dad was sitting front row so I ran over and just screamed in his face,” Freeman said. “There was no words, no nothing, and we were just screaming at each other.”

Though Freeman and father only exchanged eager shouts, the moment had already explained itself. Freeman had written his name in baseball history forever.
