The 2024 World Series opened with a controversial play in Game 1 between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. With the score tied 2-2 in the top of the ninth inning, Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres hit a potential home run that was caught by a fan, leading to a fan interference call. After review, Torres was sent back to second base with two outs. The Dodgers went on to win the game 6-3 on a walk-off home run by Freddie Freeman in the 10th inning. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts called it one of the greatest baseball moments he had witnessed. The incident drew comparisons to previous fan interference calls in baseball history. Game 2 of the World Series is scheduled for Saturday night in Los Angeles, with the Yankees starting Carlos Rodón and the Dodgers starting Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
