Dodgers Receive a Warm Welcome Home to Los Angeles from Fans
The Los Angeles Dodgers are World Series Champions! I’ll never get tired of typing that. After sufficiently passing COVID protocols — members of the traveling party were given nasal swab tests — most of the Dodger players, coaches, and families left the Texas bubble and returned home to Los Angeles with the coveted piece of metal.
As expected, the boys in blue got a hero’s welcome at each stop along the way.

BREAKING: The World Series champion #Dodgers have returned to LA! We were here as they left the United West hangar w/ a police escort. Much more of a private area. A couple of fans were here to cheer them as they drove away. @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/0Bcy8iyypU

Shout out to the airport staff coming in to cheer for the team and undoubtedly sneak some photos and videos of their own.
Next, the team boarded several buses and headed back to 1000 Vin Scully Avenue, Dodger Stadium where a whole bunch of fans were there to greet them.

One guy in particular that received a lot of love was the closer for the game 6 win over the Rays, Julio Urias.
“Julio, Julio, Julio!”#Dodgers players got a warm welcome home from hundreds of fans waiting for them at Dodger stadium tonight. Here’s a smiling Julio Urias, who closed out the W for the team last night. #JustinTurner not w/ the team from what we’ve heard. Live at 10p on @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/H218xsut0Z

Notably absent was veteran anchor of the infield Justin Turner who, of course, received a positive COVID test during Tuesday’s win. While he’s reportedly at the beginning of a battle with MLB over actions after the game, he also is rumored to be traveling on a private plane, according to KTLA 5.
Back to the positive, the World Series is back home in LA and the Dodgers are the champions of baseball!
