The World Series was born in 1905 and has become one of the most famous events in sports. The most memorable moments from this storied competition are the ones that make the biggest impact and leave lasting impressions on fans. These highlights include a series-ending grand slam, an unfathomable play and a startling call.

After losing Game 1 to the Dodgers, the Yankees needed a huge win in order to keep their hopes alive for a repeat. In a must-win situation, the Yankees took advantage of some great defensive plays and came away with a 4-2 victory.

This was a highly anticipated match-up between the two best teams in baseball, and the game lived up to the hype. The game was back and forth throughout the entire affair, but the deciding factor was Freddie Freeman’s walk-off grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the 10th. The slam marked the first time a team won a Game 7 with a walk-off grand slam and only the second such grand slam in World Series history.

This moment encapsulated the entire World Series and stands out as one of the most significant in MLB history. It’s also one of the greatest individual performances in sports, and it was arguably the biggest home run ever with the season on the line. The play started with Eckersley getting the first two outs. He then walked Mike Davis, who was playing with an injured foot from his injury in the NLCS. But, instead of sitting out the rest of the game, Gibson pinch-hit and promptly blasted a home run into the right-field upper deck, inspiring iconic pronouncements by the era’s most recognizable broadcasters, Vin Scully and Jack Buck.

Whether you’re cheering on the top seeds in Arthur Ashe Stadium or hoping to witness an upset, the US Open is known for thrilling matches that can last late into the night. The tournament also draws a diverse crowd that loves to watch the sport’s greatest players in action. The 2025 US Open has an expanded 15-day schedule that allows fans to enjoy more match time and gives players a longer rest between rounds.

During the day, fans can see marquee matchups on center court and at the outer courts. This year, the US Open is adding a second women’s doubles session in the evening to give spectators more opportunities to watch the sport’s biggest stars.

In addition to watching the action, the US Open will have a number of activities that will be fun for families. Kids can have fun at the US Open Block Party, watch tennis legends team up in doubles matches, or take part in free Arthur Ashe Kid’s Day.

The US Open is the fourth and final Grand Slam event of the year, and it’s usually the most difficult of the four to win. Winning the US Open gives players several privileges that can help them secure their place among the sport’s elite.

The US Open takes place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York. This facility has 22 outdoor courts that include four “show courts” (Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, and the Grandstand) and 13 field courts. All of the main courts are lit, which enables match play to continue after dark.
