LA won the title in five games, clinching on the road at Yankee Stadium. Here is some reaction from the postgame celebration

The Dodgers are the 2024 World Series champions, securing the title on the road at Yankee Stadium with a thrilling comeback win in Game 5 over the Yankees.

“Start the party, Los Angeles,” said Joe Davis on the Fox call of the final out. “Your Dodgers have won the World Series.”

Asked about the criticism he’s faced during his tenure as Dodgers manager, now two-time champion Dave Roberts said this in the interview room at Yankee Stadium after the win.

“It’s hard to win a championship regardless of what your team is like. It’s hard, and there’s a reason why there hasn’t been a repeat champion since the Yankees did it. It clearly speaks to the difficulty, the playoff format, all that stuff,” Roberts said. “I’m going to be in the moment, and I’m going to enjoy the heck out of this one. I’m sure there’s no asterisk on this one.”

Roberts also talked about the decision to leave Blake Treinen in the game after a mound visit in the eighth. Treinen got seven outs and threw 42 pitches, his longest outing since 2018.

“I wanted him to tell me that he’s got enough to get Stanton,” Roberts told the FS1 postgame show. “The rest is history.”

Freddie Freeman made his own history with a record 12 RBI during the series and four home runs. That earned the first baseman World Series MVP.

“This is a grind, it’s a grind all season long,” Freeman told David Vassegh on AM570. “We faced every adversity possible and we overcame every single one. To be here as champions, this is everything.”

“Freddie won MVP on one leg. That lets you know how good he is,” Mookie Betts, the only active three-time World Series champion in the majors now, said in the celebratory clubhouse, per SportsNet LA. “It was just a great group effort from everybody.”

With the series complete, Betts also opened up a bit about the two idiots who grabbed his wrist to take the ball out of his glove in the first inning of Game 4.

“That was like the second time in my life I’ve ever wanted to fight somebody,” Betts said on the FS1 postgame show.

Roberts during the on-field celebration yelled, “Who wants a parade!”

“Winning is always the number one goal. I’ve always tied that to a parade. My whole career for 20 years has been tied to a parade,” president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman told Vassegh. “For us to be able to bring this home and celebrate with our incredible fans in LA literally means everything to me.”
