    Dodgers victory parade! This is how fans celebrated LA’s World Series win

    Vaseline Posted on

    It’s the moment thousands of fans have been waiting for — and were robbed in 2020 thanks to COVID: a Dodger World Series victory parade in LA

    Thousands of fans lined the route in downtown LA on Friday to enjoy and celebrate the Boys in Blue, who became world champions on Wednesday after beating the Yankees 7-6 in New York in Game 5.

    “I mean, we didn’t have one in 2020, so this is exciting,” said Caroline San Miguel of Long Beach as she waited for the parade to start. “It’s hopefully not once in a lifetime.”

    It took 162 games and hard-fought victories over the Padres and the Mets in the National League Division Series and National League Championship Series, respectively, for the Dodgers to close a nerve-wracking five-run deficit in Game 5 to take the win. series, which set the stage for Friday’s victory parade.

    During the celebration at Dodger Stadium, Daniel Nathan Hice said he took an early morning flight from the Bay Area to Burbank to take it all in for himself.

    “I mean, this is something that means so much to so many people around the world and we’re very fortunate to have this,” he said.
