WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals and Major League Baseball were making preparations Saturday for President Donald Trump’s first visit to Nationals Park and first appearance at the World Series since he took office. Trump is expected to attend Sunday night’s Game 5, at which a prominent critic of Trump’s will throw out a ceremonial first pitch before the president’s planned arrival.
The visit was Trump’s idea, according to multiple people familiar with the situation. His staff connected with Major League Baseball, which then coordinated with the Nationals. Trump is expected to sit with MLB officials.
