A matchup between the Dodgers and the Yankees, the most popular clubs representing the western and eastern United States.
Fans focused on Ohtani and Judge, the two major league home run kings, but Ohtani’s big hit was caught in front of the fence and Judge had three strikeouts and not much power.
There was another player who was brilliant.
In the 6th inning, with the Yankees trailing 1-0, Stanton came from behind with a two-run home run to turn the game around.
The Dodgers also advanced to third base in the 8th inning with Ohtani’s double and an error, and Bates’ sacrifice fly tied the score again at 2-2.
And the dramatic moment happened in the tenth overtime.
The Dodgers, who had given up a run to the Yankees and regained a 3-2 lead, were on the brink of defeat when Ohtani was retired in the 10th inning with runners on first and second base with one out.
Then the Yankees intentionally filtered out Bates with 4 pitches and picked off Freeman, who was suffering from an ankle injury.
Down 3-2, two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th inning.
Freeman took the first pitch without hesitation, and as soon as he hit, everyone knew the result.
The first walk-off grand slam in the World Series in the Major League’s more than 120-year history.
It was a thrilling comeback win for the Dodgers.

“When I was 5 years old, I dreamed of a situation like that with my two older brothers in the World Series with the bases loaded and 2 outs and winning the game, so there’s nothing better.”
The team that wins Game 1 has a 63% chance of winning.
