ELYSIAN PARK, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — After the world championship Dodgers When they returned victorious from New York on Thursday morning, several of the Boys in Blue were mobbed by boisterous fans outside Dodger Stadium as the players left the parking lot.

Dozens of fans gathered outside the stadium at Elysian Park and swarmed the passing vehicles of individual players.

Among the players who were harassed was pitcher Anthony Banda, who rolled down his passenger-side window and waved to supporters.

When ABC7 asked him how he felt about the Dodgers’ win over the Yankees, he used an expletive and said “unbelievable” with a smile.

One of the fans, who identified herself only as Amber, said she felt “great. It’s a wonderful feeling. I remember 2020, we didn’t have our parade and now we can have it. And the Dodgers also had a lot to prove because everyone kept saying the 2020 World Series wasn’t a real World Series. Well, now we have it.”

After taking advantage of three errors to erase a five-run deficit in the fifth inning during one of the most memorable midgame crises in baseball history, the Dodgers used eighth-inning sacrifice flies by Gavin Lux and Mookie Betts to beat New York 7-6. on Wednesday night.

“In spring training this is what we said we were going to do and we did it,” Betts proclaimed, champagne in his eyes.

The scene outside Dodgers Stadium on Thursday was decidedly more peaceful than some isolated incidents that occurred the night before in Los Angeles.

Rowdy crowds took to the streets after the Dodgers’ victory, setting fire to a city busbreaking into stores and setting off fireworks. Police reported a dozen arrests, but officials stressed that most fans celebrated peacefully.

Video showed revelers throwing objects at police in downtown Los Angeles as sirens blared and officers told them to leave the area.

Another video showed someone standing on top of a bus waving a Dodgers banner and people running out of a boarded-up Nike store with armfuls of sneakers before throwing merchandise into cars parked outside. No injuries were reported.

Despite some unrest, “the overwhelming majority of last night’s celebrations were joyful and peaceful,” Mayor Karen Bass said at a news conference Thursday discussing the logistics of Friday’s planned victory parade.
