Freeman started this World Series with a grand slam in the 10th inning of Game 1 against the New York Yankees, becoming the first player to hit a grand slam in the Fall Classic. He followed with a solo shot in the third inning of Game 2 and kept the streak alive with a two-run belter in the first inning of Game 3 on Monday.

The last time someone so dominated a World Series with a display of power like this was in 1977, when Reggie Jackson hit five home runs, including three in the deciding Game 6 of the series against, ironically , the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jackson’s three-homer blast came on three successive swings against three different pitchers.

Now, some 47 years later, Freeman has gotten his revenge for the Dodgers against the Yankees.

Even before the conclusion of Game 4, Freeman had outscored the Yankees as a team 4-3 and had scored more runs than the entire New York lineup, 9-7. His nine RBIs also set a record for most RBIs in a World Series by a Dodger, eclipsing Gil Hodges, who had eight RBIs for Brooklyn in 1956.
