celebrate, i guess

the dodgers clinched the national league west title yesterday, with an 8-0 win over the diamondbacks. they stayed out of the pool this time, but did celebrate in the visitors' clubhouse with the usual means and methods (although this time they went for a slip n slide?!).

it's the team's 12th division title in the last 13 years, and i suppose it's clear that they did not take it for granted based on their celebratory approach. here are some cards that show some other sorts of celebrations...

it's the second step for this club on a multi-milestone journey - first make the postseason, then clinch your spot as a division winner - but it doesn't afford them a bye for the wild card round. they will face the mets, reds, or diamondbacks in a best of five starting next week.

it would be a mistake to look past that round, so i won't, but i will share another parallel card that i've picked up recently. it's from 2025 topps heritage (color of the year parallel) and celebrates a different postseason round
here's hoping the dodgers get there again!
