[Saba Sports News] Los Angeles Dodgers fans were ecstatic after Freddie Freeman became the first player in MLB history to hit a walk-off grand slam in a World Series game.
The thrilling Game 1 victory drew reactions from stars like Joel Embiid, LA-based brands, and, of course, Magic Johnson, who quickly shared his excitement online.
“Freddie Freeman with the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history to carry us to a 1-0 start! Wow!!” Johnson posted. “One of the most exciting World Series games I’ve ever seen—it left me breathless, and it’s just Game 1!”
Though best known as a Lakers legend, Johnson owns a stake in the Dodgers as part of the Guggenheim Baseball Management group, which also includes stakes in the LA Sparks, LAFC, Washington Commanders, and Washington Spirit.
This multi-sport ownership has led to 14 championships for Johnson, with a potential 15th if the Dodgers can claim this World Series.
As Game 2 approaches, fans are set to fill Dodger Stadium once again, with ticket demand soaring and parking passes selling for $500. After this game, the series heads to Yankee Stadium for Games 3-5, with Games 6 and 7 slated back in LA if needed.
Rest assured, “Magic” will be rooting for a Dodgers victory all the way.
