Some Dodgers fans woke up extra early Thursday morning to get their hands on some World Series Championship gear.
A small line was already forming long before the Dick's Sporting Goods location in Pasadena was ready to open.
Dick’s locations across the greater Los Angeles area will be opening at 7 a.m. but some fans wanted to make sure they got their merchandise early after getting shut out the night before.
“It was a long ling. It closed at midnight. I would have waited even longer than two and a half hours but I wanted to be back first thing in the morning to get my merch,” Dodger fan Wayne Van said outside the store at 5:45 a.m.
Van says he was just five customers away from entering the store when it closed but remained in good spirits.
“I just want a few shirts and I’ll be so happy … I’m buying for myself and two friends who are on the night shift at the hospital so they can’t be here,” Van said.
Some fans were able to get their hands on some gear last night as soon as the Dodgers beat the Yankees in Game 5 of the World Series.
Video showed a line of people watching their cellphones outside the store, celebrating as the Dodgers recorded the final out.
One fan who talked to KTLA Wednesday night said he spent about $1,500 on World Series gear.
Dick’s locations in Pasadena, West Covina, Upland Colonies, El Segundo, Chino, Tustin, Santa Clarita, Esplanade Center, Edinger Plaza, Antelope Valley Mall, Cerritos, Glendale, Thousand Oaks, Torrance, Northridge, Eastvale and The Mall of Victor Valley will be opening early Thursday.
