The City of Angels experienced citywide festivities after the Dodgers clinched a thrilling seven-match World Series title. Supporters across the globe joined Angelenos in jubilation, marking the first time in 25 years that a team has achieved consecutive championships.
Local celebrations featured a downtown parade on the morning of the parade, a ticketed rally at the team's home stadium, and impromptu gatherings throughout the city.
Social media videos depict countless of Angelenos packing downtown streets, many carrying homemade signs and Dodger flags. The team was seen traveling proudly on a double-decker bus through the crowds, raising the Commissioner’s trophy proudly.
“I’m already thinking about the next championship we’re going to do this,” Shohei Ohtani stated through an interpreter.
The procession path concluded at Dodger Stadium, where the players emerged to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” with DJ Mustard providing music and the artist driving a Pacific blue vintage Cadillac around the field.
Celebrations started prior to the parade, with supporters setting off flares in the streets of the city center on Sunday night.
The World Series MVP, named the MVP of the championship, commented directly about the victory.
“Losing is not an option,” he stated. “I adore this team. This city means everything to me.”
However, the team owner received a cooler welcome at the rally. Video footage from the event appear to show him taking the stage to a combination of cheers and boos, with negative shouts punctuating his speech.
The World Series acted as a positive moment in what has been a trying year for Los Angeles. An approximate 225,000 people showed up to the Dodgers’ victory parade last year, and according to team member one athlete, fans this year showed as much if not more support.
“I feel like it’s almost double from last year,” he remarked. “The supporters are incredible. It’s so awesome to be a involved in this.”
