On June 29, representatives from the Los Angeles Dodgers presented their consecutive 2024 and 2025 World Series trophies at the California State Capitol.
State lawmakers showcased the trophies in the Senate and Assembly chambers to honor the Major League Baseball franchise’s achievements and celebrate its impact across California.
The presentations were held while the Dodgers were in the Sacramento area to play a three-game interleague series against the Athletics at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento.
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees in 2024 and the Toronto Blue Jays in 2025 to win back-to-back championships. In total, the Dodgers franchise has won nine World Series titles.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who led the Dodgers to the World Series championships, told California Black Media (CBM) that he visited the State Capitol to meet with lawmakers on June 30 after a golfing outing with A’s manager Mark Kotsay.
“It was absolutely great. I enjoyed meeting with the legislators,” said Roberts, who has been the Dodgers’ manager for the last 11 seasons. “It was a nice occasion. Sacramento treated us really well for our first time playing here.”
