Freddie Freeman's World Series Grand Slam ball sells for $1.56 million

Freddie Freeman's Grand Slam ball from the World Series has sold for $1.56 million at auction. This sale makes it the third most valuable baseball in history, following two notable home run balls from Shohei Ohtani and Mark McGwire. The ball was caught by the Ruderman family during the game on October 25, when Freeman hit the walk-off home run in the 10th inning. The family had surprised their son with tickets to the game, making the experience even more memorable. SCP Auctions handled the sale and confirmed the ball's authenticity through photo matching. The identity of the buyer has not been disclosed.
