Catcher Kurt Suzuki donned a 'Make America Great Again' hat, while pitcher Sean Doolittle skipped the ceremony for political reasons.
The Washington Nationals continued to celebrate their triumphant World Series win before thousands at the White House on Monday -- as one player donned a"Make America Great Again" hat and another skipped the ceremony for political reasons.
As Trump introduced players and staff one by one, he brought catcher Kurt Suzuki to the lectern. Suzuki threw on a"Make America Great Again" hat. Trump said the crowd on the south lawn, which the White House estimated was 5,300 people, was a record."We’ve never had this many people on the front lawn of the White House," he told the crowd.
There were at least 16 other players not in attendance, based on a list of attendees released by the White House. It was unclear why the others missed the ceremony including star third baseman Anthony Rendon.
