The Dodgers celebrated their World Series win with fans on Friday with a parade through downtown L.A. and then a rally at Dodgers Stadium.
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Dodgers held a victory parade in downtown Los Angeles on Friday.
Downtown L.A. was transformed into a giant Dodger street party for the parade, with thousands of fans lining the streets as early as 4 a.m. to get a good spot.
After the parade ended, the players headed to Dodger Stadium for a rally, where the atmosphere was electrifying.
World Series MVP Freddie Freeman was emotional as the crowd chanted "Freddie! Freddie!"
"When I came back after my son got sick, you guys showed out for my family. That was one of the greatest experiences I ever had on the field. I was so touched. I did everything I could to get on this field for you guys. I'm glad I did because we got a championship now."

A fan dressed as a Dodgers-themed La Calavera Catrina attended the team's parade Friday morning in downtown Los Angeles, among thousands who turned out to help the Boys in Blue celebrate their World Series championship.
The skeletal Catrina is one of the Día de Muertos holiday's most iconic characters.
Skeletons are central to Day of the Dead celebrations, symbolizing a return of the bones to the living world. Like seeds planted under soil, the dead disappear temporarily only to return each year like the annual harvest.
