Dave Roberts secured his second World Series title as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The New York Yankees led by five runs at one point in Game 5, but the Dodgers rallied for a 7-6 win to clinch the championship.
To celebrate, the Dodgers held their championship parade in Los Angeles, and during the festivities, Roberts made a prediction for the next season.
“Let’s get ready to do this again next year,” Roberts said via the B/R Walk-Off.

The Dodgers won their eighth World Series title in franchise history and second under Roberts.
Roberts began managing the Dodgers in 2016, and they won the National League title in 2017 and 2018, and the World Series in 2020 and now in 2024.
The Dodgers will likely be the favorite to win the World Series again next year with the firepower of their lineup.
Some key free agents this offseason include starting pitcher Jack Flaherty, utility player Quique Hernandez, outfielder Teoscar Hernandez and starting pitcher Walker Buehler.
The Dodgers will return Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman to lead their lineup.
Roberts believes the Dodgers can go back and forth next season, and what they do this offseason will be something to watch.
Even though they have two starters who will be free agents, they won the World Series without arguably their ace Tyler Glasnow and veteran Clayton Kershaw.
The Dodgers could also look to Juan Soto when the infielder hits free agency.
