Trump Congratulates Dodgers After Historic World Series Comeback
President Donald Trump hails the Los Angeles Dodgers as “incredible champions” after Game 7 extra-inning victory and invites them to the White House
President Donald Trump extended warm congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers after their dramatic Game 7 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, describing them as “incredible champions” and inviting the team to the White House.
The Dodgers secured their second consecutive World Series title with a 5-4 win in 11 innings, tying the record for back-to-back championships since the New York Yankees in 2000.
Trump praised the team’s resilience and asserted, “A lesser group of men would never have been able to win that game, or Game 6 for that matter,” while acknowledging the many stars who contributed to the victory and congratulating ownership for their strong performance.
His social media message concluded with, “SEE YOU ALL AT THE WHITE HOUSE!!!”
The win-or-go-home contest featured a stunning ninth-inning game-tying home run by Miguel Rojas and a go-ahead homer in the 11th from Will Smith, highlighting the Dodgers’ dramatic comeback.
Their repeat championship marks the first time a team has done so in a quarter century.
Trump hosted the Dodgers at the White House earlier this year following their 2024 title and the invitation underscores the traditional recognition awarded to major sports champions.
The president’s celebration of the team arrives amid wider public and media attention on his relations with California’s political leadership and indicates a continued effort to engage with American sporting institutions even as he faces political challenges.
With the formal invitation issued, the Dodgers are expected to return to Washington to mark their remarkable achievement and meet with President Trump in the coming weeks.
