Social media videos show countless of Angelenos flooding city center avenues, many displaying homemade signs and team flags.

The parade route ended at Dodger Stadium, where the players walked out to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” with DJ Mustard spinning music and Ice Cube cruising a Pacific blue classic car around the field. Early Celebrations and Player Reactions Festivities began prior to the parade, with supporters lighting flares in the streets of Downtown Los Angeles on the previous evening. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, awarded the MVP of the championship, spoke plainly about the victory. “Losing is not an option,” Yamamoto said. “I love the Dodgers.
