PHOTOS: See the players, fans and scenes from the Texas Rangers World Series parade

An estimated 500,000 fans packed into Arlington’s entertainment district on Friday to celebrate the World Series champion Texas Rangers with a historic victory parade. Fans began to grab their spots Thursday evening, and the parking lots were filled by Friday morning. Crowds were 20 people deep in places and some stood on bench or climbed trees to get a view.

The parade lasted about an hour before the ceremony in front of Globe Life Field, where players, Manager Bruce Bochy and owner Ray Davis thanked the fans.

“How sweet it is, huh? How sweet it is! You guys can party, I love it,” Bochy said.
