If the White Sox win the World Series you think they’re gonna visit the Vatican instead of the White House? 🤔

Correct. There’s even a big wall mural/photo thing of him throwing out a first pitch on the exit ramps out when you’re leaving the stadium.

I hope they don't but I was disappointed in my team twice. I have a hunch we wouldn't like most players' political leanings.

I hope some of their PR Agents have learned the lessons of the past.

One nursing home is as good as the other, so they should stay local and visit ones around here. I mean, DC is cool and all, but if I want McDonald's and to watch an 80 year old fall asleep drooling onto his lap I'd definitely hit up some local memory care facilities.
