President Trump held a reception at the White House on Thursday for the Los Angeles Dodgers, the 2024 World Series champions, calling the team "one of the great brands" in the world [1]. The event took place in the Rose Garden and featured interactions between Trump and several players, including Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman [1].
Trump expressed astonishment at the Dodgers' back-to-back World Series championships and appeared to signal hope for a three-peat [1]. He drew a comparison between Ohtani and baseball legend Babe Ruth, suggesting that Ohtani could be the greatest hitter and pitcher in baseball [1].
The Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in the previous season's World Series in seven games last November [1]. Trump noted that he watched Game 3 of the World Series, which went 18 innings and resulted in a 6-5 Dodgers victory [1]. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated that "we are going for a three-peat" [1].
This marks the second White House reception Trump has hosted for the Dodgers' championship. He previously celebrated their 2024 World Series title—when they defeated the New York Yankees—in April 2025 [1].
Right fielder Mookie Betts was absent from Thursday's Rose Garden event [1]. The tradition of White House receptions for champion baseball teams dates back to 1869, when President Ulysses S. Grant welcomed the Cincinnati Red Stockings [1].
