‘It’s Called Baseball!’ Trump Delivers Bizarre, Rambling Recap of the LA Dodgers World Series Victory During White House Ceremony

President Donald Trump on Monday went on a bizarre tangent about the Los Angeles Dodgers’ injuries during the team’s White House visit.

The team arrived at the White House on Monday morning. During his remarks about the team, Trump praised the abilities of two-way star Shohei Ohtani and infielder Mookie Betts. The Dodgers beat the New York Yankees in five games to capture their second World Series title in the last five seasons.

Throughout much of the season and their postseason run, the Dodgers battled through more than a few injuries from key players. Despite this — as noted by Trump — the team overcame it all.

“The resilient group used 40 different pitchers — the most ever by an eventual World Series championship team,” Trump said. “They had to go and get them. I don’t know how they got him, and where they got them, but they got them because they won.”

After offering some praise for Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw, the president went back to detailing the extent of the team’s injuries in 2024.

“All year, the Dodgers faced down adversity,” he continued. “You entered the playoffs battered and bruised, but not broken. When you ran out the healthy arms — you ran out of really healthy — they had great arms, but they ran out. It’s called sports. It’s called baseball in particular; and pitchers, I guess you could say, and really particular.”
