WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The World Series champion Astros will use Monday's off-day to fly to Washington and be recognized by President Donald Trump in the East Room of the White House. The team will depart the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches early in the morning to fly to Washington and will return to West Palm Beach later that evening.

Astros owner Jim Crane and his wife, Whitney, general manager Jeff Luhnow, president of business operations Reid Ryan and most of the team's senior management team will make the trip, along with players and coaches who played with the club last year. The only player from the 2017 team who's currently on the Astros who's known to not be going is Ken Giles, who has a family conflict.

Astros arrive in Washington D.C. ahead of today’s White House visit:

Bregman










From TMZ:
quote:

the [Golden State] Warriors spoke out strongly against Trump and decided as a team to boycott Trump's White House. Trump rescinded their invite as well.

As for the Astros ... they're clearly down for the ceremony

Does Austin Powers know that Bregman stole his outfit?

None of them have to go back. Winners get to stay.

It was a nice welcome by the President.
He spoke about Hurricane Harvey—in particular, the efforts of the Cajun Navy, who were in attendance (with Rick Perry, Ted Cruz, John Cornyn, and the Texas delegation) at the White House.

Geez, Bregman's suit is as bad as the one Fournette wore when Jamal Adams made of fun of him. I cannot find the image but both are gross.

Highly doubtful.
But they chose to treat the event for what it was—an honor to visit the White House and to represent the city of Houston and the state of Texas—without using the event for personal/selfish political reasons.
Trump did, however, mention that he and Justin Verlander are friends who golf together.

I agree. Altuve definitely doesn't seem to like being there. You can see the contempt oozing from every pore in his skin. Fair enough. He respects the office and shows up.

Did Bregman raid Calvin Murphy's closet?

Don’t go by a few still shots.
Altuve was laughing and having a great time, along with everyone else.
Trump singled out Altuve, shook his hand, and told a story about Stan Musial, saying Altuve’s BA last season was better than Stan’s lifetime avg.
