The Dodgers had a win total of 106.5. They were supposed to do this. Why are we celebrating them? Their entire team was purchased, and their star has been in legal trouble because he's involved in gambling and the yakuza.
This championship is for Jackie Robinson and Fernando Valenzuela.⚾️🏆
Let's go Dodgers!!!!
A team of destiny💙🤍💙
This is the Freddie series

Congratulations to Daniel Hudson and Kevin kiermaier on a great career going out on top like that
Congratulations to The Los Angeles Dodgers on an Incredible Season and World Series!! ⚾ 🏆🏟️
FREEMAN jersey will forever be respected as iconic in LA I'll be buying one
The question is, is SAS still pumped?
By the way, Yankees fans, the moment that headline hit ESPN you had to know that your team was going to lose. Was your team's kiss of death. To borrow the phrase, SAS is the perfect reverse barometer.
Lastly, happy YED one and all! Make sure to be and stay safe.
Remember I told you haters back then you will feel this 2024 Dodgers Championship
I am still in disbelief about this. Celebrated and stayin up all night now. I cant believe we beat the mighty Yanks and made Aaron Judge look silly throughout everything. The 1st legit Dodgers Championship in my lifetime without the cheating Astros and ppl saying bubble Covid Champs. Hope all Dodgers fans safety in the parade.
2014 LA Kings Santa Fe Springs/Whittier ❤ i did it for you 🎉 we did it together love from O’ahu 😉😌
Best team, fans, organization in baseball hands down!! LA Dodgers babyyyyy!!!!!!
Beautiful
For Dodgers fans, this was honestly one of the most fun seasons ever. Watching GOATani have a historic 50/50 season and topping it off with a World Series championship. Feels good man!
The moment Freeman pulled a Kirk Gibson, it felt like destiny all over again.
Only Americans would refer to a competition that only exists within their country as a “World Series” 😂 truly the worlds dumbest people
A season of historical baseball records for the Dodgers. What a privilege to witness!! Congratulations 🏆
being the first to ever knock a walk off grand slam in the world series is kinda butty ngl
Last year WS was much more enjoyable and you were actually rooting for a team to win it.
From a Rangers fan having just watched them win the World Series last season, congratulations Dodgers!!!!!
🖕🏽the dodgers
Love this ESPN!
Shohei brought the Dodgers to the postseason. Freddie carried the Dodgers through the World Series
Good for Freeman. Having a great post season and also dealing with the Yankee fans screaming cuss words at him during the Stand Up to Cancer moment where he was honoring his late mother who died from cancer when he was just ten years old.
Thank you Roberts!!
It's absolutely fascinating how almost everyone conveniently developed a selective memory about Ohtani's injury, right? It's like, who even remembers that inconvenient little detail of his shoulder dislocating in Game 2? It's almost like injuries are just totally minor inconveniences that don't have any impact at all, especially on the shoulder of an athlete who just might need it for, oh I don’t know, hitting and running.
But let's not trouble ourselves with such trivialities, shall we? I’m sure there’s some cosmic truth in overlooking the fact that Ohtani couldn’t exactly dazzle us from the dugout while nursing what is surely just a slight, insignificant shoulder dislocation. I mean, why let a practical necessity like a functioning shoulder interfere with a good old-fashioned narrative about his supposed lack of performance through injury-induced pain after Game 2?
And before that injury, it's as if Ohtani's clutch double in Game 1, the one that tied the game 2-2 in the 8th and set up Freddie's grand slam, never happened. Funny how that moment doesn't fit the narrative, huh? Heaven forbid we recognize how that hit prevented the Yankees from casually strolling through Game 1 without a dramatic, spirit-crushing walk-off. And sure, let's keep pretending that Ohtani's pivotal contribution to the Dodgers' spark was just completely irrelevant.
I mean, these casual critics have such a gift for missing the point entirely, don't they? Overlooking his obvious injury and instead, conveniently summing up his WS as "did nothing", as if the obstacles he faced weren't glaringly obvious.
0:10 no it is seemingly ludicrous to put underdogs anywhere near the name LA Dodgers.
They bought a championship lol
ARE YOU REALLY A DODGER FAN? And you’re MEXICAN ? And you support them???
What is the story behind Chavez Ravine?
Chavez Ravine: A Los Angeles Story tells the story of how this Mexican American community was destroyed by greed, political hypocrisy, and good intentions gone awry. During the early 1950s, the city of Los Angeles forcibly evicted the 300 families of Chavez Ravine to make way for a low-income public housing project.They promise to help them in their families get the promises were broken. They didn’t help any people live there. They even became homeless. all for a stadium. Poor kids and families were forced to leave the house by police and no lie. They really did break the promises. They gave the families back nothing that’s why they became homeless also and some were farmers also there.
For dodger stadium
They cheated baseball and rigged and fixed that is outrageous MLB is screwed fr
Incredible. Classic.
