Episode Details

President Trump is hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers at the White House to celebrate their historic second straight World Series title, a feat not seen in 25 years. The team, who beat the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7 last October, are making their return after being invited in April 2025 but unable to attend due to their schedule. This visit, happening on an off-day between games against the Phillies and Mets, continues a storied tradition dating back to Ulysses S. Grant’s 1869 reception of the Cincinnati Red Stockings. Manager Dave Roberts hopes this becomes an annual tradition — a goal fueled by their championship success. The Rose Garden, redesigned since their last visit, now features a patio reminiscent of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, adding a personal touch. While Trump, a longtime baseball fan, has long been linked to the Yankees, he recently criticized the Mets’ payroll and record at a rally — revealing his candid opinions on team management, even as he remains close with owners. This White House honor marks another milestone in the enduring tradition of celebrating America’s top sports teams.
