World Series champion Dodgers to visit White House
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Los Angeles Dodgers will visit the White House on Friday to celebrate their first World Series championship in 32 years.
President Joe Biden will welcome the team for a ceremony in the East Room. Los Angeles defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in six games last year in Texas. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the World Series was played at a neutral site for the first time.
It will be the Dodgers´ first visit to the White House since 1988, when President Ronald Reagan welcomed them after their championship season.
Los Angeles is in Washington for a four-game set against the Nationals.
