Trump plans to attend World Series in D.C.

President Donald Trump will indulge in America’s favorite pastime this weekend, saying on Thursday that he would attend the World Series matchup between the Washington Nationals and the Houston Astros in D.C. on Sunday — assuming there is a Game 5.

When asked by reporters in the press pool at the White House whether he would throw out the first pitch, the president quipped: “I don‘t know. They got to dress me up in a lot of heavy armor — I’ll look too heavy.”

The nation’s capital has Nationals fever after an eight-game winning streak in recent weeks landed the team in the World Series for the first time. Trump, apparently, isn’t immune.

The Nationals took a 2-0 series lead on Wednesday night, beating the Astros, 12-3, in Houston. They head to Washington for Games 3 and 4 on Friday and Saturday, with a Game 5 on Sunday if necessary in the best-of-seven series.
