How LA Celebrated The Dodgers' First World Series Win In 32 Years
The Dodgers brought home their first World Series win in over 30 years, beating out the Tampa Bay Rays during Game 6, 3-1. This is the team's first World Series win since 1988, and their 7th overall. The victory marks two very big, very welcomed wins in the past two months, making 2020 just a little more bearable for the people of L.A.
While the Dodgers won't be officially celebrating their victory any time soon because of the pandemic, fans celebrated hard. Car horns blared throughout the night declaring victory, chants to the Dodgers filled the air, and fireworks erupted above the city. Fans hit the streets despite urging from Mayor Garcetti to withhold from congregating. The night ended in confrontations between crowds and the police.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
