The back-to-back champs are here.

No, not the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers (although they were there too), but the 2025 World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Los Angeles Kings hosted their baseball counterparts at Crypto.com Arena on Thursday as they took on the Panthers. A quartet of players from the Dodgers visited the stadium: pitchers Blake Snell, Evan Phillips and Ben Casparius and outfielder Alex Call.

Snell hit the Kings drum pregame and the four players hit the locker room together to read out the starting lineup.

Call carried the World Series trophy into the room while Snell started the honors from the lineup card before giving way to his teammates.

After the lineups the Dodgers handed out some pregame fist bumps.
