History

Historical Context

The White House tradition began in 1865 when President Andrew Johnson welcomed two amateur baseball teams, the Brooklyn Atlantics and Washington Nationals, after their championship season. It continued with presidents such as George W. Bush inviting the 2000 Yankees in April 2001, and now Donald Trump hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers, showing how championship visits persist despite recent team refusals.
