The 2018 World Series champion Boston Red Sox will be honored by President Donald Trump at the White House on Feb. 15, team president Sam Kennedy told the Boston Globe.
The early visit is a change from the norm. Championship teams typically schedule their visit to align with a road trip that takes them to the Washington D.C. area. That was the case after the Red Sox won in 2013 when their visit coincided with an April series in Baltimore.
The Red Sox have made pre-season visits in the past but not quite this early.
