WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump is honoring the Houston Astros for winning the World Series.
The Astros used Mondays day off from spring training in Florida to fly to Washington for the White House ceremony. Houston defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 last year to claim the franchises first World Series title. Trump calls it one of the greatest baseball games anybodys ever seen.
Visits to the White House by champion sports teams once were highly anticipated, but they have become politically fraught in the age of Trump.

"Jose Altuve shoots a glare at President Trump during the Astros' visit to the White House on Monday".
Wow.
The Dodgers choked.
Thought bubble over Jose's head . . .
Now that's who should have won the MVP for ever!
Fake news. They smiled when they shook hands later.
What a shocker, the AP managed to find a bad frame that implies the whole ceremony was hostile. I did see Altuve applauding at times.
Oh please......
Politically fraught in the age of Trump???? Really????
But who has made these visits political???
Some athletes have said they would not visit the white house because of Trump.
They make it sound as if Trump has poisoned the well with these white house visits.
Who also went into space? Cosmonauts.
And where do Cosmonauts come from? That's right, RUSSIA!
Solid proof of Russian collusion with President Trump.
I am now forwarding this shocking revelation to Maxine Waters, CNN and MSNBC.
Buttociated Press playing their usual games. (AP=AgitProp)
Yellow journalism, nothing but
You scoundrel, you!
I has uncovered Braking Knews!!!
You shoulda sold it to CNN instead of posting it here for free. Youse been rich!
I’ve got to get Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow on the horn, quickly!!
Remember when the astronauts and the cosmonauts shook hands in space?
I believe that President Trump was somehow involved. He was riding in a UFO piloted by Bigfoot. This created the black hole that swallowed MH370. /Don Lemon CNN
See? It ALL fits together!
Give Jose a break. He was hassled by Secret Service on the way in:
SS: Get outta here kid. This is for ballplayers.
JA: I am a ballplayer. I’m a second baseman.
SS: For who? Pony league?
JA: No for the Astros. In fact, I was the league MVP.
SS (Bellylaugh): Hey, Marvin. You gotta here this!
JA: It’s true! You’ll see!
I’m pretty sure Trump is at least six inches taller than Jose.
Trump might be a foot and a half taller than Jose. I love the way he plays the game. I love the way they both play their games. Jose plays old school hustle baseball. In an age of millionaire superstars not running out pop ups it’s a great thing to see. And I’m a Met fan so I’ve seen a few of those slouchy superstars over the years.
Her IQ is too low. She wont understand. 😄
We’re gonna draw it with stick figures made in crayon.
All while “Wheels on the Bus” plays in the background.
As she sings along, she should get it.
