When the Dodgers celebrate their World Series title with the city of Los Angeles on Friday, Valenzuela will also be remembered. The left-handed pitcher would've been 64 years old Friday, but his legacy lives on in the hearts of every player and fan who attends the parade.
Freeman had been relatively quiet offensively as he dealt with an ankle injury the entire postseason. However, on Oct. 25, Freeman had the most memorable Dodgers moment in over thirty years.
A swing that sent the ball flying to right field couldn't have emulated the walk-off run by Kirk Gibson more. 'She is gone,' Joe Davis said. 'Gibby, meet Freddie!'
Freeman's walk-off grand slam would be what this generation recalled as the greatest moment in Dodgers history.
