A World Series championship Chicago Cubs team hasn't visited the White House in 108 years. President Barack Obama made sure it was a memorable one.
"Do know, that among Sox fans, I am the Cubs' number one fan," Obama, a lifelong Chicago White Sox fan, said Monday afternoon as he honored the North Side team.
It capped a ceremony filled with honors, jokes, accolades and even a "pardon" from Theo Epstein, president of Baseball Operations for the Cubs.
Relive the historic celebration below, including Obama finding commonality with David Ross, a story about the president catching a staffer at a game instead of in the office, and why he and First Lady Michelle Obama have a divided baseball household.
