The Astros visit the White House

Powered by RedCircle

On March 12, 2018 — The Astros take a short break from spring training for the traditional visit of the World Series-winning team to the White House, given they are not scheduled to visit the Washington, DC/Baltimore, MD area until September. A couple of team members, Carlos Correa and Carlos Beltran, choose to boycott the outing as they are still mad at President Donald Trump for his contempt of their native Puerto Rico after it was battered by Hurricane Maria in September.

President Donald Trump remarked how the ballclub was better than his Yankees and later received an Astros jersey with his name on the back and the number “17” presented by Josh Reddick.

Listen too 25 Greatest Events in Baseball History -

As we go a little deeper, because we felt it added to the story we have extended innings, lead up to the event and post event interviews. Such as Walter O’Malley post game in 1951, Ernie Harwell talking about Bucky Dent not being a homerun hitter before he hit the homerun. Bill White and Phil Rizzuto on Brett and Chris Chambliss 1976 walk off. Different radio perspectives from Joe Carter and Kirk Gibson. These are calls you may not have heard of these fantastic events. I hope you enjoy them!
