On the Fox broadcast for the World Series, Hall of Famer David Ortiz revealed that he cursed Toronto Blue Jays sluggre Addison Barger. Ortiz is one of the leading figures on Fox's pregame and postgame shows throughout the season, and since Fox carries the World Series, he has been prominently featured in the coverage.

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

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.

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.

The Blue Jays' offense erupted against the Dodgers in Game 1 of the World Series, led by Addison Barger's historic grand slam.
