Washington Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki donned a "Make America Great Again" hat during the team's visit to the White House on Monday to celebrate its World Series victory.
He also got a big hug from President Trump while wearing the red "MAGA" baseball cap as he put his arms up to acknowledge the crowd.
Trump put his hands on Suzuki's shoulders and hugged him from behind.
“I love you all,” Suzuki told the crowd. “I love you all. Thank you.”
“What a job he did. I didn’t know that was going to happen,” Trump said to laughter in the crowd.
Trump, flanked by First Lady Melania Trump, addressed an enormous crowd on the South Lawn of the White House, cheering the team for capturing “the hearts of baseball fans across the region and across the country” during the past season.
“America fell in love with the Nats baseball,” Trump said. “That’s all they wanted to talk about – that and impeachment. I like Nats baseball much more.”
“You reminded us all why baseball is truly America’s past time,” the president continued.
Most of the Nationals players and coaches were in attendance on Monday for the White House ceremony, which has become a divisive tradition in the Trump era.
Eight key Nationals contributors were not included in the White House list of attendees and missed Monday’s celebration. Those absent included star third baseman Anthony Rendon, center fielders Victor Robles and Michael A. Taylor, infielder Wilmer Difo and pitchers Sean Doolittle, Joe Ross, Javy Guerra and Wander Suero.

Kudos for Suzuki and Zimmerman, in particular, for not being afraid to make their appreciation known in the city which is home to so many swamp rats.
Sean Doolittle is a dumb, ignorant, sucker.

And the msm check themselves into the nearest insane asylums because there weren’t any available safe spaces to immediately run to
Yeah, very funny. That’s actually something that Joe Biden might do.
Adorable!!!!!!!
He was a great Oakland Athletic. I’m glad he won a ring. Wish it could be in the gold and green.
Doolittle was another great Oakland A. I hope he didn’t sit this out because he was an idiot.
Donald channeling his inner Joe
Oddly enough, he didn't come because, um, "Heather has two mommies"
Unless Doolittle has a twin, he was there.
Ah, interesting.
Do you have a photo or a link?
I was watching it on Facebook. Toward the end of the stream, when people were starting to go back into the White House, I saw Trump stop and shake hands with someone who I swear was the spitting image of Doolittle.
So, article aside, unless he has a twin on the team he was there.
I’d like to know for sure.
are you kidding?!??!!?!? i think he sat it out because his in laws are faggots!!
Additionally, Doolittle wants to show support for Dolan's two mothers who do extensive work in the LGBTQ community.
Sooo, he's pussy-whipped by a wife with homosexual parents?
We'll have to be on the lookout for youtube video of the event.
