Former President Donald Trump met with the Los Angeles Dodgers at the White House, celebrating their 2023 World Series victory! ๐ The event was filled with notable moments, including Trump’s praise for Shohei Ohtani and greetings with figures he’d previously had friction with.
Key Highlights:
- Ohtani Praised: Trump complimented Shohei Ohtani, who won the National League MVP award last year achieving the first 50-50 (50 home runs and 50 steals) record in Major League history, saying he looked like a “movie star.” ๐คฉ
- Edman Acknowledged: Trump recognized Korean-American player Tommy Hyun-soo Edman, calling him the National League Championship Series (NLCS) MVP. Edman had an impressive .407 batting average and 11 RBIs during the series.
- Reconciliation with Betts: Trump greeted Mookie Betts, who boycotted a White House visit in 2019 due to Trump’s racial remarks. ๐ค
- Greeting Roberts: Trump also shook hands with Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, with whom he had a public disagreement in 2018 over pitching changes during the World Series.
This visit underscores the tradition of honoring major sports teams at the White House, although previous administrations have seen some controversies and boycotts due to political tensions. ๐ค
It’s great to see the Dodgers celebrated for their achievements, and interesting to witness these moments of reconciliation! ๐
