Fans across the globe joined local residents in celebration, marking the initial time in 25 years that a franchise has secured consecutive championships. Victory Parade Draws Enormous Crowds Los Angeles area events featured a procession through the city center on Monday morning, a ticketed rally at Dodger Stadium, and impromptu gatherings across the city. Social media videos depict countless of Los Angeles residents flooding city center avenues, many carrying homemade signs and team flags. The team was seen riding high on a open-top bus through the masses, raising the championship trophy high. “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 the stadium, where the team walked out to the rapper’s “Not Like Us,” with the renowned DJ providing music and the artist cruising a light blue vintage Cadillac around the field. Early Celebrations and Athlete Responses Celebrations started prior to the procession, with supporters lighting flares in the streets of Downtown Los Angeles on the previous evening. The World Series MVP, named the MVP of the championship, spoke directly about the victory. “Losing is not an option,” he stated. “I love the Dodgers. I love Los Angeles.” Varied Responses and Community Spirit In contrast, Mark Walter was met with a less warm welcome at the celebration. Recordings from the gathering appear to show Walter walking onstage to a mix of applause and jeers, with negative shouts interrupting his address. The World Series acted as a bright spot in what has been a challenging year for the city. An estimated quarter-million people attended to the championship parade last year, and according to team member Freddie Freeman, fans this year demonstrated as much if not more enthusiasm. “I feel like it’s almost double from last year,” Freeman said. “The supporters are incredible. It’s so awesome to be a involved in this.”
