The event included a reception for players Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman, whom Trump described as representing “one of the great brands anywhere in the world.” The Dodgers defeated the Yankees to secure the championship.
While the visit itself was reported across multiple outlets, some fans have expressed anger over the team’s decision to accept an invitation from Trump. No details were provided regarding the nature or extent of this fan backlash.
