Freddie Freeman began the World Series with a historic ending.

Five nights later, Freeman was in the middle of a five-run rally in the fifth inning, and he and the Los Angeles Dodgers later celebrated deep into the night.

Freeman and the Dodgers secured the eighth title in franchise history by overcoming a five-run deficit for a 7-6 victory over the New York Yankees in Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday night.
