In 2020, when the Dodgers won the World Series under Magic Johnson’s ownership, fans had to watch the celebration from home due to isolation, but this time, Los Angeles finally got the celebration they had been longing for. Many people crowded the streets, bringing vibrancy to LA as the Dodgers celebrated their hard-earned trophy in a parade. Johnson and his spouse, Cookie, participated in the parade, posting noteworthy moments on social networking sites. “We couldn’t have imagined a World Series Parade that was any better.” Johnson expressed his thanks to the many Dodgers fans and city officials for their support of the team in blue.
Dangerous Incident Mars Celebrations
Despite LA enjoying the victory, a few incidents marred the celebrations. A supporter, dressed in Clayton Kershaw’s No. 22 jersey, sustained severe injuries after a firework detonated in their hands. Witnesses recounted the terrifying incident when the firework exploded early, causing injuries to both hands. Emergency responders came to the scene to help the injured man, who was then transported to the hospital.
Additional Disturbances and Arrests
During the excitement, several fans went too far, resulting in numerous arrests. A group of individuals tried to steal items from a nearby Nike store, leading to multiple arrests for theft and burglary. Karen Bass, the Mayor of Los Angeles, comforted the city by noting that the majority of supporters peacefully celebrated, and pledged to uphold stringent public safety measures.
Magic Johnson experienced a mixture of emotions during the celebration, enjoying fan excitement but also dealing with some unfortunate disruptions. In the midst of the disorder, most Dodger supporters relished a much-anticipated revelry for LA’s recent champions.
