The Los Angeles Dodgers secured their eighth World Series title, defeating the New York Yankees 7-6 in Game 5 on Wednesday night in the Bronx to win the series four games to one. Overcoming a five-run deficit, the Dodgers clinched their second championship in five seasons, aided by three Yankees errors and sacrifice flies from Gavin Lux and Mookie Betts in the eighth inning. This victory marks their first opportunity to celebrate with a parade in nearly 40 years, as the team was unable to hold one after their 2020 win due to the COVID pandemic. Fans across Los Angeles celebrated the win, with many taking to the streets. The Dodgers have announced plans for a victory parade and stadium celebration featuring star player Shohei Ohtani, to be held on Friday, November 1st, starting at 11 a.m. outside City Hall and proceeding to Dodger Stadium.
