Game world series 2011 6
• When we say “made his mark,” we really mean it. The 116.6 mph exit velocity on Stanton’s homer made it the hardest-hit batted ball in the World Series under Statcast (2015). https://guerrillapopmedia.com/ And each of his last five hits have been home runs, tied with himself in ‘20 and the Pirates’ Bob Robertson in 1971 for the longest such streak in a single postseason, per Elias.
Amen to that. To live up to a working week’s worth of hype is no small feat. But the Dodgers and Yankees — the No. 1 seeds in the National and American Leagues who are clashing in the Fall Classic for the first time in 43 years — played a Game 1 very much worth the wait.
There were 40 bids from around the world, with the successful bid coming at 12:26 a.m. ET. New Jersey auction house Goldin said it was the highest price paid for a baseball — or any other ball — in history.

The Mets became the first expansion team to win a division title, a pennant, and the World Series, winning in their eighth year of existence, becoming the fastest expansion team to win a World Series up to that point. Two teams eventually surpassed the latter record, as the Florida Marlins won the 1997 World Series in their fifth year (also becoming the first wild card team to win a World Series) and the Arizona Diamondbacks won the 2001 World Series in their fourth year of play. The 1969 World Series was the first World Series since 1954 to have games played in New York that did not involve the New York Yankees. It was also the first World Series in which neither the New York Giants nor Brooklyn Dodgers (as both teams had moved to California in 1958) represented New York from the NL; all subsequent World Series with a New York-area NL team participating have involved the Mets, who have been the only NL baseball team located in New York City since that era.
Trey Mancini comes to the plate and grounds one to short, Sosa making the grab and throw to first to end the inning. But the damage is already done, and the Astros are nine outs from a World Series championship. The Phillies led briefly, but now find themselves trailing 4-1 at the end of six.
These Dodgers of Ohtani, Freeman and Betts joined the 1955 Duke Snider and Roy Campanella Boys of Summer, the Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale era that spanned the three titles from 1959-65, the Tommy Lasorda-led groups 1981 and ’88, and the Betts and Clayton Kershaw champions of 2020.

11:44 p.m. — Edman makes a nice spinning throw from shortstop to throw out Torres, and that’ll do it. The Yankees made a last-second attempt to get back in the game, but it was too late. The Dodgers own a 3-0 lead in the World Series, and they’re within one win of a title, while New York is a loss away from being eliminated.
“You know, this year, we’ve battled, we’ve faced adversity, and we just keep coming back and punching back,” Freeman said. “And it’s just a credit to our guys, our staff, everyone in this organization, we believe in ourselves, and we’ve been doing it so far.”
Following two days of conversation over whether Shohei Ohtani would be able to swing a bat after popping his left shoulder out of its socket late in Game 2, Ohtani didn’t need to swing at all to reach base out of the leadoff spot in the first. Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt walked him on four pitches. And one out later, Freeman, whose Game 1 walk-off grand slam and important insurance swat in Game 2 already had him in pole position for the World Series MVP honor, connected on a cutter upstairs to send it over the short porch in right field and quickly give the Dodgers a 2-0 edge.
