The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series for the first time since 2020 but really since 1988 (full season), ending years of post-season heartbreak and bringing a championship back to Los Angeles.
Injuries and intense rivalries had spanned all season long, but in the end, the Dodgers rallied to take the trophy, sending their amazing fanbase home happy. This win played out through key performances by Freddie Freeman and Yoshinobu Yamamotto, and it reminds fans why Dodger blue runs deep in the veins of this city.
The Dodgers, from the very start of this season, were on a mission. Under the guidance of manager Dave Roberts, they showed exceptional skill, proving early in the season that they were and are contenders. Throughout the middle of the season, this team would always come back strong, gathering strength from all parts of the roster. Knowing that the Dodgers’ starting staff was cut short, the “Bullpen” stepped up in this postseason. .
In that aforementioned postseason, the Dodgers faced some stiff competition by three very good teams to reach the end. Every series filled to the brim with pressure. Having won the National League title against the New York Mets, they entered the World Series with resolve to win the franchise’s latest championship. Dominants in the Dodgers’ pitching staff – Buelher, Yamamoto, and Flaherty – proved vital to this victory, while relief pitchers shut down late-inning threats. On offense, their lineup offered such a nightmare for opposing pitchers as batters continued to deliver clutch hits, most of them in critical situations.
The World Series shared memorable moments that showed the Dodgers’ prowess: heroic home runs, game-changing defensive plays, and 
excellent pitching that secured crucial outs. In one of the series’ most iconic moments, Freddie Freeman’s walk-off homerun in Game 1 shifted all the energy for the series.
To the Dodgers faithful, this title isn’t just another—it feels like the start of a new era. With its rich baseball history, Los Angeles has been through years of postseason frustration and near misses, but now it is time for redemption. It is time to answer all the critics and to let everyone know that the Dodgers are here to stay as perennial contenders.
The citywide celebrations started the moment the final out took place. Dodger blue lit up landmarks; fans swarmed the street; and a city felt alive with the sense of unity and pride that comes with such a victory. Milken students made up a part of that Dodger fan parade.
With their roster chock-full of talent and leadership, the Dodgers are looking good for continued success. More likely, though, this championship will act as a stepping stone for the next generation of players within the Dodgers organization, setting the standard for the team’s future.
In a city full of stars, this year’s Dodgers will have a place in Los Angeles lore, shining brightly as champions. Because the 2024 World Series win means so much to Dodgers fans and players, it’s a surefire sign that the future is bright in Dodger blue.
