The World Series MVP, named the MVP of the championship, spoke plainly about the win. “We refuse to lose,” he said. “I love the Dodgers. I love Los Angeles.” Varied Responses and Community Spirit However, Mark Walter was met with a less warm reception at the celebration. Recordings from the gathering seem to depict Walter taking the stage to a combination of applause and jeers, with negative shouts punctuating his address.
