Meanwhile, part of the Hollywood sign was also lit up as a tribute to the Dodgers — it was just one of many LA landmarks that took on a Dodger blue color to celebrate the big Game 5 win.

Fans at Cosm in Inglewood erupted in cheers as the finale was taped. As many as 1,400 people packed the room on three levels to see Boys in Blue on one of the biggest screens in town.

“It didn’t look good, but these Dodgers never give up,” said Canrado Guerrero of Lincoln Heights. “And we as fans never gave up either.”

On Friday, a parade will be held to celebrate the Dodgers’ championship victory.
