While I have templates for celebration posts, I realized I don’t have one for what comes after, mostly because this is their first parade in over 40 years.

Man, I’m glad they finally got one, as they were right, it does really feel complete now.

What a whirlwind few days.

======

Realistically, the celebration back in Los Angeles started when they arrived … or really even on the trip with the trophy. They all got their poses in, and then the closer presented it after they exited.

That was mostly it we got from that day, except for Anthony Banda, who seemed to go out of his way to unleash profanity on television (complimentary).

As for the actual parade earlier today … man it was absolutely nuts. If you don’t have time, here’s the highlight video recap of sorts.

For the sickos, well it was apparently like over 250k or something, but everybody seemed to think it was more. Either way, the atmosphere was electric the whole time.

Walker Buehler … doing a beer bong in Orel Hershiser’s 1988 clinching jersey.

While on the buses, the players talked about the parade.

Teoscar Hernandez gave us a selfie view.

Jack Flaherty, already sounding emotional (maybe due to drinks), never wants to leave.

The parade, of course, finished at the stadium, and man it was like a playoff game in there.

The team highlight reel.

Who else to start things off but Ice Cube with hype man Dave Roberts, throwing it back on him (perfect, really).

Walker Buehler actually didn’t say a whole lot cause he was busy getting wasted, but he did ditch his wife for Clayton Kershaw and then gave us the profanity we needed.

Enrique Hernandez was basically the MC of things … because of course he was.

Horny? Yeah, horny.

Mookie Betts talked about wanting to fill his hands with rings.

Teoscar Hernandez got emotional and sure sounded like he wanted to be back.

Freddie Freeman, of course, got the chants he deserved.

While Clayton Kershaw didn’t get to pitch this playoffs, I’m just so glad he gets this celebratory moment in front of fans. Made it all worth it.

Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto spoke … briefly. Appreciative, but definitely more nervous about this than on the field.

——

After all that, there were interviews, with Clayton Kershaw and Jack Flaherty standing out in particular.

——

Picture time!

The signs, lol.

Fernando Valenzuela tributes.

======

This is the whole thing.

The season recap.

Enjoy this, because while we hope and think it’ll happen again, you really never ever know.
