"It felt like nothing. I was just floating," he said when asked to describe the sensation of hitting the first walk-off grand slam the World Series had ever seen.
Freeman's historic exclamation point on Game 1 of this year's series between his Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees was an all-time highlight by itself 'as good as it gets,' Freeman said afterward.
His streak ended in Game 5, but Freeman's two-RBI single in the fifth inning was key to the Dodgers' comeback victory.
This year had been a struggle, by Freeman's own account. The 35-year-old had missed time earlier in the season when his three-year-old son Maximus was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease.
