Supporters worldwide united with local residents in celebration, marking the first time in a quarter-century that a franchise has achieved consecutive championships. Celebration Parade Draws Massive Crowds Local celebrations featured a downtown parade on Monday morning, a ticketed rally at Dodger Stadium, and impromptu gatherings across the city. Online footage show thousands of Angelenos packing downtown streets, many carrying handmade banners and Dodger flags. The team was seen riding high on a open-top bus through the masses, hoisting the Commissioner’s trophy proudly. “My focus is already about the third time we’re going to do this,” Shohei Ohtani remarked through an interpreter. The procession path ended at the stadium, where the team emerged to the rapper’s “Not Like Us,” with DJ Mustard spinning music and Ice Cube cruising a light blue classic car around the field. Pre-Parade Festivities and Player Reactions Celebrations began prior to the procession, with supporters setting off flares in the streets of the city center on the previous evening. The World Series MVP, awarded the MVP of the championship, commented plainly about the win. “We refuse to lose,” Yamamoto said. “I love the Dodgers. This city means everything to me.” Mixed Reactions and Community Spirit In contrast, Mark Walter received a less warm welcome at the celebration. Recordings from the gathering seem to depict him taking the stage to a combination of cheers and jeers, with jeers punctuating his speech. The championship acted as a bright spot in what has been a challenging year for Los Angeles. An estimated quarter-million people showed up to the championship parade last year, and according to team member one athlete, fans this year demonstrated equal or greater enthusiasm. “I feel like it’s almost double from last year,” he said. “The supporters are incredible. It’s truly amazing to be a part of this.”
