World Series Highlights

If you’re a baseball fan, then it’s hard to forget the thrill of a World Series victory. This year’s series was no different, with dramatic lead changes and nail-biting turns of events that made for a thrilling finale to the season. One of the highlights was the Dodgers coming back from a 5-0 deficit to win Game 5. But there were many other moments that pulled at fans’ heartstrings, including a catcher’s interference call that was overturned and Shohei Ohtani’s career-ending injury.

But perhaps the most memorable moment of this year’s World Series was Joe Carter’s walk-off home run in Game 6 against the Red Sox to seal a 2-1 series victory. It’s a home run that will forever be in the annals of baseball history and a moment that gave birth to the Curse of the Bambino superstition.

But even before that moment, there was one other famous home run from this Series that will go down as a historic home run: Yankees slugger Aaron Judge’s walk-off bomb in Game 2 of the 96 World Series against the Mets. The euphoria of seeing a weak grounder turn into the game-winning hit will never be replicated. The crowd at the Stadium went wild, and the moment sparked what would become one of baseball’s most dominant dynasties. The moment is the most iconic home run in World Series history and has arguably been the most influential of any to date.
