  "account": "San Francisco (AP) — After a triumphant victory, the WNBA's Valkyries celebrated their championship win with parades in both Oakland and San Francisco. The team started their festivities at Oakland's Jack London Square, just a stone's throw away from their downtown practice facility. From there, they boarded a ferry across the bay and continued their parade route through San Francisco's Ferry Building before concluding near the iconic Oracle Park. The women's team was joined by the San Francisco Giants, whose manager Tony Vitello supported them throughout the route. Among the crowd were fans dressed in violet sparkles, cheering on the team and taking selfies with the players. The celebration was a testament to the team's strong bond and a fitting tribute to their historic win, becoming the first expansion franchise to reach the playoffs in its inaugural year and delivering an improbable title in just two years.",
