Keeping with tradition, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania hosted the Washington, D.C.-based team at the White House.
The worlds of politics and sports once again collided when the Washington Nationals visited the White House Monday after winning the World Series. President Donald Trump sprinkled a few political jokes throughout his remarks made to the thousands of people gathered on the White House's South Lawn, but largely managed to steer clear of politics as he and First Lady Melania hosted the team to honor its win.
"You worked every count, hustled for every base, you fought for every run and produced a comeback story for the ages," Trump said of the Nationals' season. Catcher Kurt Suzuki wears a"Make America Great Again" hat as he is hugged by U.S. President Donald Trump as he welcomes the 2019 World Series Champions, the Washington Nationals, to the White House November 4 in Washington, DC."What an unbelievable honor to be here, to be in front of you guys, this is stuff that you dream about, to see all the fans show up, the parade. Look at this crowd here, we couldn't have done it without you," first baseman Ryan Zimmerman said.
Doolittle's wife, Eireann Dolan, also has two mothers who are involved in the LGBTQ community, according to"I want to show support for them," he said."I have a brother-in-law who has autism, and [Trump] is a guy that mocked a disabled reporter. How would I explain that to him that I hung out with somebody who mocked the way that he talked or the way that he moves his hands? I can't get past that stuff.
