Thrilled with the win, he clicked a selfie with his wife, Cookie Johnson, and shared it on his X account. “WORLD SERIES CHAMPS!!! @Dodgers,” he captioned the photo, announcing the news to his fans and followers. The Lakers legend, who had recently been spotted wearing a Dodgers cap to cheer for the team, was also seen taking the stage for the Dodgers championship trophy.

The Yankees displayed an impressive battle almost forcing a game 6. However, Shohei Ohtani’s crew quickly hit back. Despite the Yankees putting on a power display, the Dodgers managed to secure a 7-6 victory.

Stealing the spotlight was surely Freddie Freeman, who broke several records with his 12 RBIs in the World Series. He also hit home runs in the first four games, setting a new record. No wonder he was named the World Series MVP. Fans are equally thrilled with the victory. Here’s how the fans are celebrating.

Dodgers’ Triumph sends fans soaring with excitement 

 After one in college, five as an NBA player, and eight as an owner, this was Johnson’s 15th championship. So fans were thrilled to see the icon celebrate the feat with his. “Congratulations Magic & Cookie!!” a user exclaimed. 

What’s your perspective on:

Is this Dodgers' victory more meaningful than their 2020 win, given the full season's challenges?

Have an interesting take?

Having purchased a part of the franchise for $2 billion in 2012, Johnson has been a loud and proud supporter of the team. He has shown active involvement and fans are thankful for any help he has lent in bringing the team another championship title. “Thank you for being great owners and making a commitment to field championship contending teams!”

Considering the many titles Johnson has now acquired as not just a player, one seemed to consider Johnson having some magic in his hands. “Everything this guy touches turns to gold. As a Yankee fan congratulations. A team that completed a difficult task. Be favored to win the WS prior to the season and fulfilling that projection is cool.” Well, Dodgers are already favored to win the 2025 World Series as well.

Being an owner, Johnson has secured rings with three different sports teams. After LAFC, LA Sparks, and LA Lakers, a second win with the LA Dodgers had a fan thankful for all that the NBA icon has given to the LA’s sports scene. “From Showtime to Sho Time, thank you for all that you have given to Los Angeles!” one wrote.

“Thank you Boss !” said another as the Dodgers picked their eighth World Series title, second with Johnson as the part-owner. This was the first time though that Johnson got to lift the trophy after covid-19 limited the celebrations in 2020. The team could not even savor a parade back then, making November 1st’s celebration the first since 1988. So it was a huge win for the LA.
