Watch live: LA Dodgers celebrate World Series Win
The Los Angeles Dodgers are World Series champions again, and this time they get the parade the franchise never got when it last won baseball's Fall Classic. The Dodgers overcame a 5-0 deficit to beat the New York Yankees, 7-6, in Game 5 Wednesday night to clinch their second World Series championship in four years. But their 2020 title came amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and public health protocols in effect in Los Angeles at the time prevented a parade from happening. This year is different. The Dodgers were once again the best team in baseball and then backed it up in the 2024 postseason. Accordingly, the city of Los Angeles and the team have a huge celebration planned to commemorate this team's accomplishments on Friday. It even includes a nod to Fernando Valenzuela, the franchise great who died right before the World Series began last month. It's setting up to be a memorable afternoon for Dodgers' players and fans alike, as the team receives its long-awaited parade treatment from Los Angeles and a celebration ceremony at Dodgers Stadium afterwards.
