Addison Barger drops ‘best country’ declaration after World Series Game 1 win

Blue Jays star Addison Barger was all smiles after hitting a powerful grand slam in Game 1 of the World Series.

MLB Network analyst's unlikely Addison Barger prediction came true

Lefty slugger Addison Barger wasn't in the starting lineup for the Toronto Blue Jays, but he made World Series history in Game 1 with one swing of the bat: He hit the first pinch-hit grand slam ever in Fall Classic. And Dan Plesac of the MLB Network nailed that Barger would make an impact with a home run at some point.

Like they’ve done all postseason, the Blue Jays keep piling up quality at-bats

And so the Jays did, piling up one quality at-bat after another, grinding down Snell, pounding the Dodgers’ suspect bullpen. Their triumph included the first home run by a left-handed hitter off Snell since June 2, 2024, courtesy of Daulton Varsho, and the first pinch-hit grand slam in Series history, courtesy of Addison Barger.
