"The City of Angels erupted in celebration following the Los Angeles Dodgers' nail-biting, seven game World Series win. Angelenos joined fans around the world in jubilation as the Dodgers became the first team in 25 years to secure back-to-back championships. Los Angeles area celebrations included a downtown parade on Monday morning, a ticketed rally at Dodger Stadium and a smattering of spontaneous parties across the city."
"Shohei Ohtani appeared with his wife and spoke optimistically about the Dodgers' prospects of a three-peat. I'm already thinking about the third time we're going to do this, Ohtani told Spectrum SportsNet television through an interpreter. The parade route ended at Dodger Stadium, with the team walking out to Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us, DJ Mustard as the resident DJ, and Ice Cube driving a Pacific blue vintage Cadillac around the stadium's outfield."
"The celebrations started well before the parade, with Dodgers fans setting off flares in the streets of Downtown Los Angeles on Sunday night. Fans reach for an inflatable baseball during the parade.
