Freddie Freeman matches Hall of Famer with World Series feat in Yankees nightmare

Never forget, the New York Yankees chose Anthony Rizzo over Freddie Freeman. Never forget, the Yankees decided to call upon Nestor Cortes Jr., who hadn't pitched in a month, to face Freeman with the bases loaded in extra innings of World Series Game 1 last year. We will be talking about these occurrences until our very last breath.

And Freeman did it again in this year's Fall Classic. He walked it off for the Dodgers in Game 3 on Monday night. The 18-inning marathon ended in a 6-5 LA victory thanks to Freeman's solo bomb off Brendon Little that sent Dodger Stadium into a frenzy.
