Mayor Karen Bass tried to speak to the crowd from aboard one of the buses, but she was barely audible over the cheering crowd.

The buses were showered with blue and white streamers as they pulled away from City Hall to begin the 45-minute procession to Dodger Stadium, where a special ticketed event was scheduled to begin at 12:15.
