On Sunday night, the fifth game of the World Series, President Donald Trump arrived at Nationals Park in Southeast Washington D.C. to watch the game.
The Washington Nationals are currently tied 2-2 with the Houston Astros to take the World Series title. This would be the Nationals’ first World Series if they win.
Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg joked before the game, “Usually the dogs that are sniffing in our clubhouse (during pregame security sweep) are these nice Labs that are super friendly. And today there was a German Shepherd that I didn’t really feel comfortable petting.”
President Trump was joined by First Lady Melania, Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY), John Radcliffe (R-TX), Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Mark Meadows (R-NC), Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and David Perdue (R-GA), and wounded veterans in the “Washington Suite.”
Stakes are high for the Nationals’ home game, especially with President Trump joining them in the flesh for the historic occasion.
President Trump is a long-time Yankees fan, who played in high school and drew the attention of major-league scouts.
