WASHINGTON - The World Series champion Washington Nationals will visit the White House on Monday, according to the administration.
Historically, championship sports teams are invited to visit the White House by the president, but a polarized political climate has complicated the tradition.
So far, only Nationals releiver Sean Doolittle has reportedly said he won't be attending the event.
The 2018 champion Boston Red Sox visited in May of this year, however several players, including manager Alex Cora, did not attend.
