The Chicago Cubs will be the final pro sports team to celebrate a championship with President Obama at the White House before he leaves office. It turns out, the Cubs have reportedly decided to take Obama up on his offer to visit before Donald Trump is sworn in as our 45th president. They’ll visit Monday, four days before the inauguration.

After the Cubs won the World Series in November, Obama — a White Sox fan from the Southside of Chicago — invited the Cubs to take part in the traditional presidential celebration earlier than normal. Usually, these visits happen during the baseball season.

Not surprising...a low rent team from a low rent city.

My Dad passed away in April and, a Chicagoan, he loved all the teams. He would have loved to see the Cubbies win finally.

Also, since Obama lived in Chicago, this visit makes sense. I don’t think it’s political.

If Obama invited them, it would be rude to decline.
