The baseball Freddie Freeman hit for a game-winning grand slam in the World Series sold for an astonishing $1.56 million.
A young fan, Zachary Ruderman, caught the ball, leading to a dramatic auction with intense bidding.
The auction lasted much longer than expected; the final price far surpassed initial expectations.
The family's life will be changed forever, and many hope the ball finds a place where it can be enjoyed by others.
