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.
