After the Dodgers clinched their first back-to-back World Series Championship, the ninth title in franchise history, exuberant Dodgers fans took to the streets to celebrate their team\u2019s historic win against the Toronto Blue Jays.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Across the city, the sounds of fireworks signaled the win. Celebrations were already unfolding in downtown L.A,, Little Tokyo, Echo Park and other locations.<\/p>\n

In Echo Park, blocks from Dodger Stadium, police had shut down Sunset Boulevard to car traffic in the middle of game 7.F ireworks and car alarms filled the air as drivers honked their horns and cheers could be heard from all directions.<\/p>\n

In preparation for the possible celebrations, the Los Angeles Police Department went on a citywide tactical alert shortly before 6 p.m., according to Los Angeles Police Officer Norma Eisenman.<\/p>\n

As part of that precaution, the police department closed several streets around L.A. Live and Crypto.com Arena and rerouted LA Metro buses from Figueroa Street to Hope Street between Pico and Olympic boulevards.<\/p>\n

LAPD said it closed the following streets: Pico Boulevard and Olympic Boulevard between LA Live Way and Grand Avenue, Flower and Hope streets between 9th Street and Venice Boulevard.<\/p>\n

After last year\u2019s World Series win, there were several incidents of vandalism and multiple arrests. While the vast majority of <\/a>celebrations were peaceful, some businesses were burglarized downtown and bus was set on fire in Echo Park.<\/p>\n

As a large street crowd gathered to watch the game during the ninth inning on an outside screen at an Echo Park bar near Dodgers Stadium, the Douglas, authorities ordered the bar to turn it off. <\/p>\n

The Dodgers clinched their ninth title after forcing game seven by beating the Blue Jays, 3-1, on Friday. The team\u2019s victory on Saturday night also happened on Fernando Valenzuela\u2019s birthday, the city\u2019s beloved left-handed pitcher who died last year.<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After the Dodgers clinched their first back-to-back World Series Championship, the ninth title in franchise history, exuberant Dodgers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34281,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[8403,1409,426,9165,423,24577,24574,48,52,51,7036,47,50,49,3843,24578,24575,24576,1291,427,24573],"class_list":["post-34280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-celebration","tag-city","tag-dodgers","tag-echo-park","tag-game","tag-historic-win","tag-hope-street","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-last-year","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-los-angeles-police-department","tag-ninth-title","tag-olympic-boulevard","tag-pico","tag-street","tag-team","tag-world-series-win"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34280\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
