The Los Angeles Dodgers win the 2024 World Series

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees in the 2024 World Series on Wednesday.

The Dodgers captured their second World Series title in the last five years by defeating the Yankees 7-6 in Game 5 at Yankee Stadium.

After a historic season in which he set a home run record, among other things, Freddie Freeman was named the series' most valuable player.

In September, while battling an ankle injury from the National League Championship Series, Freeman hit the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history in the bottom of the 10th inning at Dodgers Stadium.

After rounding the bases following his grand slam, Freeman ran to his father: “He’s been giving me batting practice for as long as I can remember. My swing is thanks to him. My approach is thanks to him. “I am who I am because of him,” Freeman said in his post-game interview.

“If he didn’t let me take batting practice, if he didn’t love the game of baseball, I wouldn’t be here playing this game,” he said. “So this is Fred Freeman’s moment.”

In addition to the list of records broken during the Fall Classic, the Dodgers became the first team to secure a World Series victory after coming back from five or more runs.

Mookie Betts, Freeman and Teoscar Hernández rallied from a five-run deficit to tie the score in the fifth inning.

Wednesday's win marked the Dodgers' eighth title in franchise history, their first since the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season and their first full-season title since 1988.
