Biden hosts World Series champion Houston Astros at White House
At 73, Dusty Baker became the oldest manager ever to win the World Series when the Houston Astros took the title last year. On Monday at a White House celebration for the team, President Joe Biden said he could relate.
Baker has been around the game for decades. He won a World Series as a player with the Los Angeles Dodgers and had been to the Fall Classic twice before as a manager. He finally got his first title in his 25th season as a manager. The win came 20 years after a near-miss, when he came within five outs while guiding the San Francisco Giants.
The team presented Biden, the 46th U.S. president, with an honorary jersey with the number 46. The MLB trophy was on display during the ceremony in the East Room, where the team also posed for photos. This season the Astros are not doing too badly, either. They hold an American League wild-card spot and are 2½ games behind the first-place Texas Rangers in the AL West. The team begins a three-game series in Baltimore on Tuesday.
