Well, that was a very entertaining and thrilling Game 1 of the World Series, wasn’t it? That game had everything: great starting pitching, tense at-bats, some incredible defensive plays, and even a Los Angeles Dodgers fan pulling a reverse Jeffrey Maier. However, the night belonged to Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman. He became a postseason legend, hitting a walk-off grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the tenth against New York Yankees left-handed reliever Nestor Cortes. The Dodgers won 6-3 and are now up 1-0 in the World Series.

Here are eight takeaways following a wild ride in Game 1.
