But the celebration turned ugly after a gunshot victim walked into San Francisco General Hospital in what appears to be the second confirmed shooting Wednesday evening, according to police.
The victim, who is expected to survive his injuries, said he was shot in the Mission District.
A previous shooting was reported at 21st and Valencia earlier Wednesday evening as well. That victim was injured in the arm and is also expected to survive.
A man was also stabbed multiple times in San Francisco's Mission District during the rowdy celebrations.
Police, who have yet to tally how many people in total were arrested, say the violence was less than previous World Series wins.
