LOS ANGELES: Freddie Freeman described his walk-off grand slam as a dream come true on Friday after helping the Los Angeles Dodgers snatch a jaw-dropping World Series game one victory over the New York Yankees.
"That's pretty cool," Freeman said."Obviously it's kind of amazing. When you get told you do something like that in this game that's been around a very long time - I love the history of this game, to be a part of it, it's special. In July, Max was suddenly unable to walk and was subsequently diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare auto-immune condition which occurs when the body's immune system attacks its nerves.
"It's been a lot these last few months, been a grind, but things have been going so well at home -- Max is doing great," Freeman said."Obviously the ankle is the ankle." Dodgers manager Dave Roberts meanwhile believed that Freeman's moment of glory was just reward for one of the most popular players in baseball.
