Gibson spoke with SI's Tom Verducci about the similarities between his famous Game 1 homer and Freeman's: "Freddie has no clue yet what it means to the game and the history of the game."

An immortal walk-off World Series homer. It all feels surreal–like deja vu on the grandest of scales. Did Freddie Freeman really just channel Kirk Gibson, rekindling the spirit of a moment that is forever etched into the hearts of Dodgers fans from 36 years ago?

After the game, Freeman was asked about the walk-off grand slam and hitting it while hobbled like Gibson in 1988. "I played the whole game though," he joked. Gibson pinch-hit in Game 1 in 1988 and did not play again the rest of the series. The walk-off home run was the final postseason at-bat of his career.
