LOS ANGELES — On a crisp, cool, Friday night under the bright lights of Dodger Stadium, the Los Angeles Dodgers turned the page on their 2024 championship journey with a dazzling final chapter—one etched in diamonds, sapphires, and pure baseball history.

The Yankees held a 3-2 lead over Los Angeles in the 10th inning during Game 1 of the World Series, but a grand slam from Freddie Freeman gave the Dodgers a walk-off victory and helped them gain momentum that they carried through the rest of the series.

Unlike 2021, when pandemic restrictions capped the crowd, the Dodgers received their 2024 rings with a full stadium and plenty of full-throated roars on Friday night.
