The wait for the first Dodgers parade of the century: 36 years.
The wait for the second: one year and two days.
On Monday, to celebrate the Dodgers becoming the first consecutive baseball champions in 25 years, Los Angeles will host another Dodgers celebration.
The 2025 Dodgers Championship Parade will begin at 11 a.m. on Monday and travel through downtown, followed by a rally at Dodger Stadium. Tickets are required to attend the rally and can be purchased starting Sunday at noon at dodgers.com/postseason.
For fans with rally tickets, the parking lot gates will open at 8:30 a.m. and the stadium gates at 9 a.m. The event is expected to begin around 12:15 p.m.
The parade and rally will be broadcast live on channels 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, and 11, as well as on SportsNet LA and AM 570, the team announced.
At last year's rally, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and Ice Cube performed together, with Roberts dancing and Ice Cube singing.
At one point, future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw grabbed the microphone and shouted, "Dodger for life!"
In September, Kershaw announced he would retire at the end of the season. In his only World Series appearance, he recorded a crucial out in the Dodgers' 18-inning Game 3 victory.
He will make his final appearance at Dodger Stadium as a player as part of a second consecutive championship celebration. He'll be back: The Dodgers will retire his number 22—they retire the numbers of all their Hall of Famers—and he'll undoubtedly be on the list to throw out the ceremonial first pitches in future Dodgers postseasons.
For now, though: three-time champion, Dodger for life.
