Here’s what the New York Post reported:
He didn’t dodge that one.
ADVERTISEMENTA Dodgers fan partially blew off his hands with a firework while celebrating the team’s World Series win in Los Angeles Wednesday night, according to shocking video making the rounds online.
A 25-year-old man wearing a Dodgers No. 22 jersey — which is pitcher Clayton Kershaw’s number but had the name “King” on the back — can be seen carrying a lit firework into a downtown LA crosswalk.
The firework blows up in his hands before he can place it and walk away — covering him in smoke and spraying sparks and blood across the avenue.
People scream as the man turns away from the explosion stumbling, the video shows. As he gets closer to the videographer, it becomes clear that blood covers both his hands — with hunks of flesh and fingers missing and displaced.

Per TMZ:
A World Series celebration Wednesday night turned tragic for one Dodgers fan … who blew off their hand while lighting a firework in the streets of L.A.
The horrifying incident happened in downtown just minutes after the Dodgers beat the Yankees in Game 5 — and it was all, unfortunately, captured on video.
But, warning, it’s extremely graphic.
In the footage, a man wearing a Clayton Kershaw “King” No. 22 jersey can be seen with a lit firework in the middle of a crosswalk — when it suddenly detonated in his hand.
ADVERTISEMENTThe explosion caused a fireball that engulfed the man … and moments later, he could be seen stumbling away from the smoke in what appeared to be a state of shock.
