Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts confirmed Friday that he would be attending his team's upcoming visit to the White House, six years after skipping a World Series celebration with Donald Trump as president.
Then with the Red Sox, Betts (and manager Alex Cora) opted out of Boston's 2019 trip to see Trump, but the now-three-time World Series champion went along for the Dodgers' visit when Joe Biden was in office, celebrating the club's 2020 championship.
“No matter what I say or what I do, people are gonna take it as political,” Betts said Friday.
