Classic Los Angeles.
Before the Dodgers’ World Series championship parade on Friday, the team’s busses got stuck in traffic.
They were recorded sitting still on the road, waiting to party in front of their fans.
But they eventually made it for what was a raucous and boozy celebration, which the Los Angeles Police Department estimates over 225,000 people attended.
“I’m totally overwhelmed with the amount of fans who are here,” superstar Shohei Ohtani said through an interpreter. “It’s been an incredible year. I’m so happy that I was able to contribute. The fans and everybody has been so welcoming.”
A shirtless Kiké Hernández hung over the front of his bus with a beer in his hand.
Ohtani held his dog, Decoy, in his arms with his wife, Mamiko, nearby.
Walker Buehler, who pitched the ninth inning in Game 5, did a beer bong while wearing Orel Hershiser’s jersey from the team’s 1988 World Series championship.
Several players smoked cigars and drank beer on the sun-splashed day.
“This is incredible,” World Series MVP Freddie Freeman said. “LA really showed out today.”
“This is crazy, man. I love this,” outfielder Teoscar Hernández said.
