WASHINGTON
A surreal scene with the Royals swarming the White House on Thursday included President Barack Obama making approving reference to Jarrod Dyson’s “That’s what speed do” motto.
“I love this quote,” Obama said.
It featured the commander in chief wondering if press secretary/Royals fan Josh Earnest drops “Fetty Wap” mentions into news conferences like Royals players do.
It extended to the leader of the free world reminding of the “hashtag ‘Yosted’” term frequently used to denounce manager Ned Yost before he morphed into King Midas.
Meanwhile, among moments behind the scenes of this celebration of the 2015 world champions, Eric Hosmer and Salvador Perez stood with chins in hand in tribute to a portrait of Abraham Lincoln behind them.
