Many of them spent four years dreaming of it. Others had waited their whole baseball life.
Two days after winning the 2024 World Series, and four years removed from a 2020 title that was never properly christened, the Dodgers celebrated with all of Los Angeles on Friday, parading through the streets of downtown on open-top double-decker buses before holding a championship rally in front of a near-capacity Dodger Stadium.
Close to a quarter-million people were estimated to be lining the streets along the parade route, packed dozens of rows deep from City Hall to the Walt Disney Concert Hall to the procession’s endpoint at Fifth and Flower.
