L.A. toasts its World Series champion Dodgers: 'The city needed this parade'
Briefly

Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the importance of fans in celebrations, noting, "It's one thing to celebrate with your coaches, the organization, the players. But I'm telling you, the game is about the players and the fans. And in 2020 we just didn't have that opportunity ...The city needed this parade." He recognized that the fans were integral to the experience, especially after the disappointment of a pandemic that kept them from celebrating together.
Clayton Kershaw expressed his gratitude for fan support, stating, "I'm just so thankful to every single fan that came out. So thankful how well they've treated me and my family for all these years. I mean, we've been through it, you know, we've been through a lot together." Kershaw's remarks highlight the bond between players and fans, reinforcing the emotional significance of the championship and the parade.
