Thousands of fans filled the streets of downtown Los Angeles to celebrate the Dodgers’ second straight World Series win. The city turned into a sea of blue as the championship parade rolled through, bringing together families, lifelong supporters, and baseball’s biggest stars for a day of pure joy.
The City That Never Sleeps on Championship Day
Los Angeles shut down for hours as the Boys in Blue rode double-decker buses waving to the crowd, holding the Commissioner’s Trophy high. Fans showed up long before sunrise. Alejandro Alba and his son Jayen were among the first to arrive. “Last year I wasn’t able to make it. I had a lot of work, and I told my boss, ‘I should have been at the parade.’ But this year I said, ‘boss, I got to go,’” Alba said with a smile. “I told my son, ‘Papa, we’re gonna go to the parade. You’re not going to school. I might get in trouble, but you know, we’re here today.’”
A Fanbase That Never Falters
Among the crowd was Blue Foo, a super fan known for his custom Dodger jackets. His newest creation, covered in team patches, drew cheers from everyone nearby. For him, this year’s thrilling Game 7 comeback made the victory even sweeter. “That was tough. We respect the Blue Jays. We were the better team. That was a good series,” he said proudly.
A Comeback for the Ages
The Dodgers’ championship win came after one of the most dramatic finishes in recent memory. Down to their last two outs, Miguel Rojas tied the game in the ninth with a home run. Will Smith followed with another in the 11th to take the lead, and ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto sealed the deal with a game-ending double play. It was his third win of the series and one that cemented his postseason legend.
A City United Once Again
After a tense summer marked by ICE enforcement operations, the victory felt like healing for Los Angeles. “It’s everything—celebration, family, unity, you know, championships. I mean, what else can you ask for?” said Blue Foo. The day ended with a sold-out crowd of 52,700 at Dodger Stadium, where the celebration continued deep into the night.
Eyes on a Historic Three-Peat
As the confetti settled, thoughts turned to the future. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told fans, “I talked to a good friend of mine yesterday on the plane, and he gave me permission to use this phrase—Pat Riley. What’s better than two? Three! Three-peat!” Shohei Ohtani echoed that determination, stepping up to the microphone and saying in English, “You guys are the greatest fans in the world. I’m ready to get another ring next year.”
A Dynasty in the Making
Veteran Kiké Hernández put it best. “Everybody has been asking questions about a dynasty. How about three in six years? How about a back-to-back? Yes! We’re a mother-effing dynasty, baby!” With Las Vegas already betting on them to win again in 2026, the Dodgers seem poised to make baseball history once more.
A Blue Legacy That Keeps Growing
From dawn to dusk, the Dodgers’ parade was more than a victory lap—it was a celebration of hope, unity, and pride. As fans waved flags and cheered their heroes, one thing was clear: Los Angeles is ready for more. The city believes, and the Dodgers aren’t done yet.
