Fans worldwide joined local residents in celebration, marking the first time in a quarter-century that a franchise has achieved consecutive championships. Celebration Parade Draws Massive Turnout Local celebrations included a procession through the city center on Monday morning, a ticketed rally at Dodger Stadium, and impromptu gatherings throughout the city. Online footage show thousands of Angelenos packing city center avenues, many displaying handmade banners and team flags. The squad was seen riding high on a open-top bus through the crowds, raising the Commissioner’s trophy high. “I’m already thinking about the third time we’re going to do this,” the star player stated through an translator. The procession path ended at Dodger Stadium, where the players emerged to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” with DJ Mustard spinning music and Ice Cube driving a light blue classic car around the stadium’s outfield. Early Celebrations and Athlete Responses Celebrations began well before the procession, with Dodgers fans setting off fireworks in the streets of Downtown Los Angeles on the previous evening. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, awarded the World Series’ Most Valuable Player, spoke directly about the win. “Losing is not an option,” Yamamoto said. “I adore this team. This city means everything to me.” Varied Responses and Community Spirit In contrast, Mark Walter received a cooler reception at the celebration. Recordings from the event appear to show him walking onstage to a mix of cheers and jeers, with jeers punctuating his speech. The championship served as a bright spot in what has been a trying year for Los Angeles. An approximate 225,000 people attended to the Dodgers’ victory parade last year, and according to Dodgers player one athlete, supporters this year demonstrated equal or greater enthusiasm. “It seems it’s almost double from last year,” he remarked. “These fans are crazy. It’s truly amazing to be a part of this.”
