LOS ANGELES- More than 200,000 Dodger fans paint L.A. blue in celebration of the 2024 world series winners, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The parade took place on Friday, November 1st at around 11 a.m.

After taking their eighth world series win against the New York Yankees on Wednesday, October 30th Los Angeles Dodgers fans took over the streets of L.A. in honor of the win. The Dodgers rode through the streets of L.A. on eight double decker buses full of players, their families, staff, and front office members. 

“This was the coolest thing I’ve ever been a part of,” said Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw. The celebration inside Dodger stadium started around 8:30 a.m. on Friday, November 1st. The celebration continued with Ice Cube performing on the field just as he did before game 2 of the world series. 

When the Dodgers won the 2020 world series they did not get their proper celebration because of covid-19. Four years later with determination and hard work, the Dodgers were able to carry their eighth world series win during a competitive series against the Yankees. The Dodgers took the win during game 5 in the 9th inning when Walker Buehler struck out outfielder Alex Verdugo.

I'm sure the Dodgers were feeling the support from fans that Friday morning. It was a memorable experience for fans and the players, definitely the way to celebrate their eighth world series win. 

It is an understatement to state that many are left disappointed after Friday, November 15th. When a former boxing legend Mike Tyson fought a youtuber and now boxer Jake paul. This fight has been anticipated since July 20th, the original date when both were supposed to fight. But the fight was postponed due to a medical emergency that Mike Tyson faced shortly before the date. In June Tyson stated that he was on a plane from Miami when he went to the bathroom and threw up blood. He went to the hospital and later found out he had a 2 and a half inch ulcer. He lost half of his blood, 25 pounds, and had eight blood transfusions. 6 months later he is taking part in one of the biggest sporting events in modern sports history. On netflix over 108 million global users stopped to watch the fight, making it the most streamed sporting event ever. The match had a total of eight rounds and two minutes each. In the end Mike Tyson threw 97 punches and landed 18, while Jake Paul threw 278 and hit 78. In the end Iron Mike Tyson could not keep up with Jake Paul who is 27 while Tyson is 58. And by unanimous decision Jake Paul won the match. The next morning Mike Tyson released a statement saying “This is one of those situations where you lost but still won. I'm grateful for last night. No regrets to get in the ring one last time. I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won. To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you” The fight being the final end of his career.
