- Story Text:The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated their World Series win on Friday (November 1) at a rousing victory parade in downtown Los Angeles, basking in festivities they were denied when the team won the 2020 baseball championship during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hoards of fans clad in Dodger blue chanted "Freddie, Freddie" as series Most Valuable Player Freddie Freeman rode atop one of several double decker buses rolling past City Hall.
Japanese slugger Shohei Ohtani carried his brown-and-white dog, Decoy, who sported an Ohtani jersey. Decoy was a regular at Dodger Stadium during the season and became a fan favorite.
Players and fans reveled in the team's 4-games-to-1 win over the New York Yankees to secure the franchise's eighth title.
The Dodgers won the title four years ago after a truncated, 60-game season and no parade was held in an effort to stem the spread of the virus.
The crowd at time spontaneously broke out into a rendition of "Happy Birthday" for Dodgers legend Fernando Valenzuela, the beloved Mexican pitcher who was born on Nov. 1 and passed away last month.
