Supporters across the globe joined Angelenos in jubilation, marking the initial time in 25 years that a team has achieved back-to-back championships. Celebration Parade Draws Enormous Crowds Local events included a downtown parade on Monday morning, a ticketed rally at the team's home stadium, and impromptu gatherings across the city. Online footage show thousands of Los Angeles residents packing downtown streets, many carrying homemade signs and team flags. The squad was seen traveling proudly on a double-decker bus through the crowds, raising the Commissioner’s trophy high. “I’m already thinking about the next championship we’re going to achieve this,” Shohei Ohtani remarked through an translator. The parade route ended at the stadium, where the team emerged to the rapper’s “Not Like Us,” with DJ Mustard spinning music and Ice Cube driving a Pacific blue vintage Cadillac around the field. Early Celebrations and Player Reactions Festivities began prior to the procession, with supporters setting off flares in the roads of the city center on the previous evening. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, named the MVP of the championship, commented directly about the win. “Losing is not an option,” Yamamoto stated. “I adore this team. This city means everything to me.” Varied Responses and City Unity However, Mark Walter was met with a less warm reception at the rally. Recordings from the event appear to show him taking the stage to a combination of applause and jeers, with negative shouts punctuating his address. The World Series served as a positive moment in what has been a challenging year for the city. An estimated quarter-million people showed up to the championship parade last year, and according to Dodgers player Freddie Freeman, fans this year showed as much if not more support. “It seems it’s almost double from last year,” he remarked. “The supporters are incredible. It’s truly amazing to be a part of this.”
