Cubs make second White House visit to celebrate 2016 championship

While in D.C. to take on the Nationals, the Cubs stopped by the White House to visit President Trump.

The Chicago Cubs visited President Trump at the White House on Wednesday, making their second trip to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue since winning the 2016 World Series. 

The Cubs already visited President Barack Obama back in January, but decided to make another stop at the White House to see President Trump while in town to play the Washington Nationals.

Check out some sights and sounds from the event below.

There was also a surprise guest: Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. 

"Where's Dan Gilbert?" Trump asks in Roosevelt Room in meet-and-greet with the Cubs.

Why Gilbert showed up to the White House to celebrate the Cubs is a bit of a mystery, but maybe he felt some connection to the Cubs, who also overcame a 3–1 deficit to win a title.
