The parade route concluded at Dodger Stadium, where the players walked out to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” with DJ Mustard spinning music and the artist cruising a Pacific blue vintage Cadillac around the field. Early Celebrations and Athlete Responses Celebrations began well before the parade, with Dodgers fans lighting flares in the streets of the city center on Sunday night. The World Series MVP, awarded the World Series’ Most Valuable Player, commented plainly about the victory. “We refuse to lose,” Yamamoto stated. “I adore this team. I love Los Angeles.” Varied Responses and City Unity In contrast, Mark Walter was met with a cooler welcome at the celebration. Recordings from the gathering appear to show him walking onstage to a mix of applause and jeers, with jeers interrupting his address. The championship served as a bright spot in what has been a trying year for Los Angeles. An approximate quarter-million people showed up to the Dodgers’ victory parade last year, and according to team member Freddie Freeman, supporters this year demonstrated as much if not more enthusiasm. “It seems it’s almost double from last year,” Freeman remarked. “The supporters are incredible. It’s so awesome to be a part of this.”
