The World Series, the pinnacle of baseball competition, is a place where legendary moments are born. The best of these moments are the ones that reverberate down through baseball history and give us a glimpse into the pure joy and passion that this game embodies.
From Carlton Fisk’s dramatic walk-off home run in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series to the first perfect game in MLB history, these are the moments that have stood out in the annals of the Fall Classic.
This year’s World Series has provided its fair share of memorable moments as well. Freddie Freeman’s game-winning shot in the 18th inning of Monday’s marathon Game 3 was a stunning display of power and persistence that will go down in World Series lore.
FOX Sports photographer Zeke Hernandez was in the right place at the right time when he captured the moment on camera. The photo of Hernandez’s finger pointing in the direction of the ball as it was flying to the plate is one of the best World Series pictures in history.
Shohei Ohtani had a game for the ages in Game 3 of the World Series, and he’s on a short list of players to have done so. He doubled and homered in the same game, and he made a huge impact on his team’s offense despite a calf injury he claimed was nothing more than a cramp. He is one of the most special talents this game has ever seen.
