“In keeping with long-standing baseball tradition, President Trump has invited the 2024 World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers to the White House when they play in Washington D.C. on April 7,” the team said. “The Dodgers look forward to visiting the White House and celebrating our title.
“In addition, members of the Dodgers will visit Capitol Hill on April 8.”
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts called it a “great honor” to visit the White House after suggesting he would not in a 2019 Los Angeles Times story.
“It wasn’t a formal conversation that we had as a ballclub,” he explained, via ESPN. “It’s certainly a huge honor to get the invitation to the White House. It allows us to celebrate our 2024 championship. To my understanding, every World Series champion gets that honor, so it’s a great honor for all of us.”
Los Angeles is the latest team to celebrate its title win at the White House. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Ohio State Buckeyes football team have also made commitments to visit Trump and the White House. The Florida Panthers celebrated their Stanley Cup win last month.
