They’ve ridden in double-decker buses and raised a championship flag. But now — after five months in the making — the Dodgers finally have their World Series championship rings.
The ring is the perfect nod to the Dodgers’ rich history — dating from 1883 and the birth of the franchise up to the unforgettable five-run, fifth-inning comeback against the Yankees in Game 5 of the World Series.

The ring ceremony embodied the city of Los Angeles. Actor Anthony Anderson was the master of ceremonies and live announcer Randy Thomas — whose resume spans the Oscars and the Tony Awards — introduced the players and coaches to the stage.
