The team that won the 2019 Little League World Series visited the White House Friday, but it was the way the team from Louisiana got back home that perhaps made the most news:
After the official White House championship visit of the World Little League Champion Eastbank, Louisiana team today, Pres Trump invites the entire team to take an unexpected ride home with him on Air Force One tonight. He's speaking at a Lake Charles, La rally.

What an experience:
Pres also shares the stage at his rally with the Little League Championship Team who got a ride home to Louisiana on Air Force One. They're not old enough to vote, but @POTUS told the pitcher he'd like to represent him when he works out a contract in the Major Leagues. pic.twitter.com/YDzjIOF1o7
