The only thing that would top that moment? Getting the ball signed by Freeman himself, the boy said.
What a moment! The 10-year-old boy and his father scrambled to get the ball and they did it! What would top that?"The only thing that would top it was if I would meet Freddie Freeman and get the ball signed and authenticated," said the boy.Freddie Freeman made history Friday night after hitting his 10th-inning grand slam to win Game 1 of the World Series over the Yankees, and one family is now a part of that unforgettable moment.
"He swung at the first pitch, and it was clear it was headed straight for us," said the boy's mother Anne, who was also at the game. "Nico and Zach dove for the ground ... then all of a sudden, they came up with the ball. It was just wild.""I knocked it to my dad, who came up with it and held it up in the air," he said.
The only thing left after that were tears of joy. It's the magic of baseball and Zachary's treasured hometown team he's certain will win the title.
