The Los Angeles Dodgers announced Tuesday that they will visit the White House on April 7 to meet President Donald Trump and celebrate the 2024 World Series victory.
“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 Dodgers wrote on X. “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.”
The Dodgers had to wait nearly a year to visit the White House after winning the 2020 World Series during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The team visited the White House in July 2021, and became the first professional sports team to visit the White House during President Joe Biden’s administration.
Due to health and safety protocols that were in place at the time, the Dodgers only had a little more than 50 people in attendance, with just 20 players, staff members, and coaches.
This time around, there should be a much fuller group celebrating the 2024 title.
