The Texas Rangers have brought home the Commissioner's Trophy, and the city of Arlington is buzzing with excitement as fans line the streets for the World Series victory parade. The celebration kicked off at 12:15 p.m. on Friday, with a lively procession followed by speeches from players, manager Bruce Bochy, team executives, and Arlington city personnel at the Texas Live! entertainment complex.

The Dallas Morning News has a dedicated team of reporters and photographers stationed along the parade route, capturing the highlights and providing live updates, photos, and videos throughout the day.

As the parade made its way through Arlington, fans grew more and more energized. World Series MVP Corey Seager and manager Bruce Bochy drew thunderous cheers as they brought up the rear of the parade. Fans sitting in trees and on platforms eagerly called out the names of players, ensuring that the entire crowd knew who was passing by.

Throughout the festivities, the Sanchez family, a group of 25 strong, shared their deep love for baseball. They arrived at 5:30 a.m. fully prepared with snacks, drinks, and plenty of team spirit. For María Sánchez, passing down her love for the sport to her children has been a cherished tradition.

While some fans began to tire after a long day in the sun, overall enthusiasm remained high as thousands flocked to the Texas Live! area where the post-parade ceremony would take place.

The parade also included appearances by Arlington Mayor Jim Ross, Arlington fire-rescue, and other Rangers personnel. Fans cheered passionately for each member of the team as they made their way through the streets in Toyota vehicles, with makeshift wooden floats attached to many of the trucks.

As anticipation reached its peak, the team members loaded into pickup trucks, each player having their own vehicle. Manager Bruce Bochy proudly held the Commissioner's Trophy in the final truck, signaling the celebration of the team's historic accomplishment.

Of course, no celebratory event is complete without a few memorable moments. One enthusiastic fan climbed on top of the Nolan Ryan Expressway street sign, eliciting cheers from the crowd below. After the police intervened, the fan safely rejoined the crowd, embodying the spirit of the joyous occasion.

Parking lots in the entertainment district filled up quickly, with thousands of fans pouring in for the festivities. Elaborate costumes, tailgating supplies, and even dogs in Rangers attire added to the vibrant atmosphere.

The parade, which covered a 1.9-mile route, offered fans an up-close experience as marching bands and cheerleaders entertained the crowd. Supporters erupted in chants of "Let's go Rangers!" and sang along to the beloved anthem "Deep in the heart of Texas."

For fans like Ricky Muñoz, the historical World Series win means much more than just a championship. It signifies an opportunity to introduce baseball to a new generation and create lasting memories with loved ones. Others, like Beto Padilla, believe that the victory will unite the community and spark renewed interest in the sport.

As the celebration continues and the post-parade ceremony unfolds, the Texas Rangers and their dedicated fans revel in this triumphant moment. The parade serves as a testament to the team's hard work and commitment, leaving an indelible mark on the city of Arlington and the hearts of their supporters.
