Ecstatic fans took to the streets of Los Angeles in an explosive expression of joy Wednesday night after the Dodgers won the franchise's eighth World Series title. They became the first Major League Baseball team to win a World Series-clinching game when trailing by five runs. Neighbors banged pots and pans on their porches while a chorus of fireworks, cheers and sirens rang out in Highland Park. The sheer display of fireworks across the city rivaled the Fourth of July.
After falling behind 0-5 in the first four innings of the game at Yankee Stadium, the team staged a stunning five-run comeback in the fifth. 'It was nerve-wracking! I was so nervous, but we kept our faith and fortunately things went our way,' one fan told KCAL News at a watch party in Pasadena. 'I’m just glad and excited we won.' The Yankees scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning on home runs by Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm.
