The Dodgers Visit the White House. The Pirates Remove Clemente. The Kids are Getting the Bag!

The Dodgers visit the White House and all eyes are on Mookie Betts. Betts did not attend the White House ceremony in 2019, but was there this time around to celebrate the 2024 World Series Championship. Betts rightfully pointed out that no matter what decision he made he would upset some people. He decided to attend and focus on the team's achievement. The podcast crew discuss Betts and the merge of politics and sports. The Pirates removed a sign dedicated to the legacy of Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente only to have it restored after public outcry and a strong statement from the Clemente family. This situation was tone-deaf about best. The Bucs ownership continue to step on their own toes. Lawrence Butler, Jackson Merrill, Kristian Campbell, Ketel Marte, and more have all signed multi-year extension. These clubs are signing their young talent early and for a long time. Is this good for the game? Lastly, The Giants are in first place in the NL West - over the Dodgers and Padres. Is the NL West the best division in baseball?
