On Thursday night, they raised the championship banner at Dodger Stadium and now have their 2025 World Series Championship rings.
The rings, which feature hundreds of diamonds, say “back 2 back” on the side with engravings of the 2024 and 2025 championship trophies.
The Dodgers began the new season with an 8-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.While fans are already chanting “three times,” they’re also still savoring last year’s World Series title, when the Dodgers triumphed over the Toronto Blue Jays in a thrilling Game 7.
Fans say they were not only excited to see them get their rings, but they are proud.
“We were with them all the time. We have season tickets, so we’re here a lot of the games and we’re fighting with them every game. The best we can from the stands,” said Dodgers fan Kim Trainor.

“I’m definitely going to feel proud. I mean, honestly, it brings tears to my eyes. I mean, I was born and raised in Los Angeles, you’re just connected. You just feel… it’s exciting. You can’t help but be emotional,” Elizabeth Rivas said.
The ceremony was narrated by actor Anthony Anderson. Country singer and Dodger fan Brad Paisley sang the national anthem before the first pitch.
Clayton Kershaw, who retired after the 2025 season, threw out the first pitch.
The Dodgers announced they are officially adding Kershaw as a special assistant.
Speaking Friday before the Dodgers’ ring ceremony, Kershaw described the role as fluid, although it won’t involve training.

“I’ll be involved in some way,” he said. “Probably not physically here in Los Angeles, but definitely, I’m sure I’ll watch the games. I still want to be a part of the Dodgers, so if I can help in any small way, I will.”
