WASHINGTON -- Calling their World Series win over the Dodgers "a victory for the ages," President Donald Trump praised the Astros for being champions on and off the field while welcoming them to the White House on Monday.
During a 15-minute ceremony in the East Room, Trump lauded the Astros' toughness -- especially for beating his Yankees in the American League Championship Series -- and praised the team for lifting the city of Houston in the days following the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey.
Astros outfielder Josh Reddick presented Trump with a No. 17 jersey -- in honor of 2017 -- with his name on the back.
