When the Los Angeles Dodgers visit the White House next week to celebrate their World Series championship, Mookie Betts will be there.

The All-Star shortstop confirmed he’d join his team on April 8 when the Dodgers will be honored by President Donald Trump. Betts skipped the visit in 2019 under Trump’s first term as president after the Boston Red Sox won the World Series in 2018.

“Nobody else in this clubhouse has to go through a decision like this except me,” Betts said ahead of Friday’s game in Philadelphia. “That’s what makes it tough. But it is what it is. I’m not trying to make this political by any means at all. All it is is just me being with my team to celebrate something. It’s a privilege to get an invitation like this. I just want to be there with them.”

Betts, who attended Los Angeles’ White House visit in 2020 under former President Joe Biden, was the 2018 AL MVP with Boston and is an eight-time All-Star over a 12-year career. He said he felt some regret in hindsight about not attending the Red Sox celebration under Trump’s first term.

“Me not being there for them at that time was very selfish. Very selfish,” Betts said. “I would not make that mistake again.”

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he expects everyone to to be in attendance.

The Florida Panthers were the first team to be honored at the White House during Trump’s second term. The Philadelphia Eagles were also accepted their invitation and will head to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on April 28.
