Supporters across the globe joined local residents in jubilation, marking the first time in 25 years that a team has secured back-to-back championships. Celebration Parade Draws Massive Crowds Local celebrations featured a procession through the city center on the morning of the parade, a reserved-seating event at Dodger Stadium, and spontaneous parties throughout the city. Social media videos show countless of Los Angeles residents packing city center avenues, many carrying homemade signs and team flags. The squad was seen traveling proudly on a double-decker bus through the masses, raising the Commissioner’s trophy high. “My focus is already about the third time we’re going to achieve this,” the star player remarked through an translator. The parade route concluded at Dodger Stadium, where the players walked out to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” with DJ Mustard providing music and the artist driving a light blue vintage Cadillac around the stadium’s outfield. Pre-Parade Festivities and Player Reactions Festivities started well before the parade, with supporters lighting flares in the streets of Downtown Los Angeles on the previous evening. The World Series MVP, awarded the World Series’ Most Valuable Player, commented plainly about the win. “We refuse to lose,” he said. “I love the Dodgers. This city means everything to me.” Mixed Reactions and City Unity However, the team owner was met with a less warm reception at the celebration. Video footage from the event appear to show him walking onstage to a mix of applause and boos, with negative shouts interrupting his speech. The championship acted as a positive moment in what has been a trying year for the city. An estimated quarter-million people attended to the Dodgers’ victory parade last year, and according to team member Freddie Freeman, fans this year demonstrated equal or greater support. “I feel like it’s nearly twice from last year,” Freeman remarked. “The supporters are incredible. It’s so awesome to be a involved in this.”
