Despite having only a couple of days left in his Presidency, the Cubs accepted President Obama’s invitation to visit the White House. Obama is the first President to host the Cubs since Grover Cleveland, not to be confused with Phillies pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander.
Because the Cubs had not had the honor of visiting the White House in over a century, the organization brought some of their franchise greats. One of those is Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, who has a long history with the Phillies.
Sandberg was joined by fellow Hall of Famers Billy Williams and Fergie Jenkins at the White House.
