The 2024 World Series opened with a controversial incident in Game 1 between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. In the ninth inning, Yankees’ Gleyber Torres hit a potential home run that was caught by a fan, leading to a fan interference call that sent Torres back to second base. The Dodgers went on to win the game 6-3 with a walk-off home run by Freddie Freeman in the 10th inning. The incident drew comparisons to a famous fan interference call involving Jeffrey Maier in 1996. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts described Freeman’s home run as one of the greatest baseball moments he’s witnessed. Game 2 will take place in Los Angeles with the Yankees starting left-hander Carlos Rodón and the Dodgers starting rookie right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
