At Hahn's request, LA Memorial Coliseum Torch Lit for Dodgers World Series Win
October 31, 2024
Los Angeles, CA – Today, at Supervisor Janice Hahn’s request, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Torch is lit in celebration of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ eighth World Series Win and in honor of the team’s first World Series winning season in 1959 at the Coliseum. The torch will also be lit tomorrow during the Dodgers’ championship parade and tonight and tomorrow the Coliseum’s Peristyle will be bathed in Dodger blue. Hahn’s father, Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, helped to bring the Dodgers to Los Angeles from New York in 1958.
“I thought it would be fitting to light the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum’s torch in celebration of the Dodgers’ victory at the venue the team played their first World Series winning season,” said Hahn. “We love our team. Every corner of Los Angeles is celebrating today.”
