'Dusty, it wasn’t easy. People counted you out saying you were past your prime. Hell, I know something about that.” President Joe Biden found a kindred spirit in Dusty Baker during the Astros' visit to the White House.
WASHINGTON, D.C — It pained him to do it, but President Joe Biden began to relive one of baseball’s most dominant postseason runs. Seven straight wins against the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees gave the Astros an American League pennant.
After eight months of mending their wounds, the Bidens welcomed the Astros to Washington, D.C., on Monday to commemorate their World Series victory. The aforementioned no-hitter allowed Biden to break from script, turning to the team and asking, “You guys weren’t just satisfied with winning the World Series, were you?” Shortstop Jeremy Peña, the first rookie position player to win a World Series MVP, earned a personal introduction from the President.
“I feel like it went above what I expected,” Peña said. “Everything was great, from how they treated us, to the environments. We had a good time. The guys had a great time.” “These guys were a group of veterans alongside some incredible young men who stepped into some big shoes and made some of the biggest plays on the biggest stage,” he continued. “We all know baseball is a long season and they all came to play every day. They were consistent in their personalities and confidence and had unwavering support and love for each other.”Monday offered a rare first for a man who has seen and savored everything this sport can offer.
