Hoards of fans clad in Dodger blue chanted "Freddie, Freddie" as series Most Valuable Player Freddie Freeman rode atop one of several double-decker buses rolling past City Hall.
He hit four home runs during the series, including a dramatic, walk-off grand slam in a Game 1 win over the New York Yankees, while playing with an injured ankle.
"I had only one leg, but I had a whole group of guys that had my back all year," Freeman said at a post-parade bash inside Dodger Stadium.
Japanese slugger Shohei Ohtani carried his brown-and-white dog, Decoy, in an Ohtani jersey. Decoy was a regular at Dodger Stadium during the season and became a fan favorite.
The 30-year-old made baseball history in 2024, becoming the first player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season.
