Cubs fans troll Yankees after Freddie Freeman's heroics in World Series Game 1

When Major League Baseball is done right, it is one of the most romantic moments in all of professional sports.

That was the case on Friday night for Game 1 of the World Series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. For a World Series matchup that has been highly-anticipated considering that it consists of several of the game's top players, the first installment absolutely delivered.

The night was capped off when Dodgers' first baseman Freddie Freeman launched a walk-off grand slam against Yankees' pitcher Nestor Cortes in the bottom of the 10th inning.

The moment was set up due to how Yankees' manager Aaron Boone deployed the bullpen after starting pitcher Gerrit Cole was pulled after the 6th inning, totaling 88 pitches while giving up 1 run on 4 hits. Boone used the Yankees' high-leverage relievers in an attempt to preserve the 2-1 lead but after the Dodgers tied the game in the bottom of the eighth inning, it was a decision that backfired once the game reached extra innings.

The Yankees scored the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th inning but were forced to go to Jake Cousins for the save opportunity. Cousins recorded the first out of the inning before letting the next two batters on. Leading to Boone making the decision to go to Cortes and after an intentional walk of Mookie Betts, Freeman ended the night with his heroics.

Cubs fans couldn't help but troll the Yankees after World Series Game 1.

On one hand, Boone's hands were tied in terms of the pitchers he could have used in the 10th inning. On the other hand, Boone overlooked the fact that he had one of the Cubs' greatest relievers of all time playing first base.

Rizzo had two appearances on the mound, pitching in mop-up duty during his time with the Cubs. In those two appearances, Rizzo pitched scoreless outings but included in that is a strikeout of Freeman from when he was with the Atlanta Braves.
