Freddie Freeman's World Series grand slam ball to be auctioned with potential million-dollar payout

Freddie Freeman's grand slam ball from the 2024 World Series will be auctioned from December 4-14. The ball, caught by 10-year-old Zachary Ruderman, could sell for over a million dollars, potentially changing his family's financial situation. Zachary gained fame after catching the historic ball, which was pivotal in the Dodgers' eighth World Series win. His family initially planned to keep it but decided to auction it to avoid insurance costs and allow public display. The Rudermans hope the auction will fund their son's education and that the buyer will showcase the ball at Dodger Stadium. Zachary enjoys the attention and memories from the experience more than the ball itself.
