Freeman's World Series walk-off home run ball sold for $1.56 mln

Freeman delivered one of the most iconic moments in World Series history on October 25 after bludgeoning a 10th-inning home run to give the Dodgers a 6-3 victory over the New York Yankees in game one of the Fall Classic. Freeman's 423-foot shot to right field was snaffled by 10-year-old Dodgers fan Zachary Ruderman, who had been taken to the game as a surprise by his parents. The Dodgers went on to win the World Series 4-1 with Freeman named Most Valuable Player. Only two other baseballs have sold for more than Freeman's walk-off ball.
