ARLINGTON, Texas — An estimated 500,000 people crammed into Arlington's entertainment district to celebrate the Texas Rangers' first World Series title.

Led by Rangers manager Bruce Bochy, second baseman Marcus Semien and World Series MVP Corey Seager, the entire team, along with general manager Chris Young and baseball operations staff, paraded around in floats and trucks as throngs of fans lined the route, some of which had staked out a spot on Thursday night.

If you weren't able to make it, Inside the Rangers covered the entire parade and the celebration, held at Globe Life Field's North Plaza.

The parade began in the parking lot adjacent to Globe Life Field on the Southwest side. Fans were already gathered where the parade floats and trucks would be entering and exiting the route.

Players returned to where they began for the parade, so there were times when players were coming and going out the same entrance, like pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, rookie Evan Carter, rookie Josh Jung and veteran Travis Jankowski.

The final three trucks out of the parking lot belonged to Semien, Seager and Bochy. Seager's truck had his MVP trophy attached to it while Bochy and his wife, Kim, had the World Series trophy on top of their truck.

You may have also heard that Nathaniel Lowe chugged a beer he caught from a fan and then took off not one, but two shirts. Here's the video.

When the players hit the stage, they passed the trophy to each other, one by one, until Rangers Hall of Famer Chuck Morgan started the celebration.

By now, you've probably heard what Seager had to say at the celebration. Here it is, in all its glory.

Corey Seager: “Everyone was wondering what would happen if the Rangers didn’t win the World Series. I guess we’ll never know.” 👀 #WorldSeriesChampions #Rangers pic.twitter.com/MAWCqavblu

And if you're going to wrap up a trophy presentation, do it with confetti. A lot of confetti.

And, finally, more confetti. #WorldSeries #WorldSeriesChampions #Rangers pic.twitter.com/ab9IpA5W50
