The Los Angeles Dodgers will visit the White House on July 23, The Athletic confirmed on Thursday, using an off-day between series in Philadelphia and New York to celebrate their latest World Series championship with President Donald Trump.“President Trump is excited to welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers BACK to the White House to celebrate their World Series championship!” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers wrote in a statement to the California Post.This will be the Dodgers’ third trip to the White House this decade. They were the first professional sports team to visit the White House under President Joe Biden’s administration, celebrating their 2020 title on July 2, 2021.“The Dodgers are a lot more than a baseball club; they really are,” President Biden said. “They’re a pillar of American culture and American progress, and that’s for real — the team that brought us the voice of Vin Scully, and the arm of Sandy Koufax and Fernando Valenzuela and above all else, the heart of Jackie Robinson. Now you’re building a new dynasty for a new generation.”The dynasty Biden foresaw came into sharper focus with the Dodgers’ 2024 victory over President Trump’s favorite team, the New York Yankees. Trump welcomed the Dodgers in April 2025 and congratulated their two-way star, Shohei Ohtani, bantering with the group about his accomplishments.“Looks like a movie star,” President Trump said. “He’s got a good future, I’m telling you.”In saluting Mookie Betts, Trump praised his speed and said he watched him play for the Boston Red Sox: “I didn’t think that was a particularly good trade when they made it, and I happened to be right.”
