The new players were present for the nightly pregame ceremonies honoring last year’s World Series. But they could only watch when their teammates got their rings.

Unlike 2021, when pandemic restrictions capped the crowd, the Dodgers received their 2024 rings with a full stadium and plenty of full-throated roars on Friday night.

The Dodgers entered Friday with a 3-0 record after sweeping the Japan Series against the Chicago Cubs and taking their home opener against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. One member of the 2024 team who didn't receive his ring was Tigers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty, who was preparing to make his Tigers debut against his old team.
