The Los Angeles Dodgers finally held their World Series parade on Friday, just days after clinching the championship against the New York Yankees.
Players, coaches, front office staff, and their families paraded through downtown Los Angeles before a crowd of over 100,000.
For the team and its sea of dedicated fans, it was two celebrations in one.
While the Dodgers have won two titles in the last four years, their 2020 World Series victory during the COVID-19 pandemic did not allow for a championship parade.

Friday’s parade was decades in the making, as the last time the Dodgers had a World Series parade it was 1988.
Following the parade, the team was scheduled to attend a sold-out championship rally at Dodger Stadium.
