Freddie Freeman Hits 18th-Inning Walk-Off Homer to Lift Dodgers Over Blue Jays in Epic World Series Game 3

Freddie Freeman's dramatic 18th-inning home run during Game 3 of the 2025 World Series was a historic moment that many close to him nearly missed. His son Charlie, despite staying up late, was in another room and missed seeing the homer live, though he caught the replay afterward. Mary Hart, a long-time Dodgers fan and iconic TV personality, left the stadium during the 17th inning and therefore missed witnessing Freeman's walk-off home run, much to the disappointment of fans who noted her absence. Freeman's aunt, Carol Freeman, was also almost absent for the moment as she was away getting ice cream, but she made it back in time to see his heroics. The Dodgers have cultivated a family-friendly clubhouse atmosphere, with players like Freeman and Clayton Kershaw having adjacent lockers for their children, creating a welcoming environment for players and their families. This approach aligns with the Dodgers' goal to be a top destination for players, as evidenced by their recent signings of prominent stars.
