The Washington Nationals<\/a> and Houston Astros<\/a> are locked in a 2-2 World Series after four games. This World Series has seen the road team winning each game. The teams are set to lock horns in an epic showdown between Gerrit Cole<\/a><\/strong> and Max Scherzer<\/a><\/strong> before sending the series back to Houston. There is more to this game, however, as a long-standing tradition will be upheld with President Donald Trump set to be in attendance.<\/p>\n President Trump will be the first sitting President to attend a World Series game in nearly two decades. The last sitting President to attend a World Series game was President George W Bush. He notably wore a bulletproof vest in Yankee Stadium to throw out the first pitch a month after the tragedy that was 9\/11.<\/p>\n The President will not be throwing out the first pitch for this game. Instead, that honor will go to celebrity chef Jose Andres, a notable President Trump critic. On Thursday, President Trump was asked<\/a> if he would throw out the first pitch. The President replied \u201cThey\u2019re going to have to dress me up in a lot of heavy armor. I\u2019ll look too heavy. I don\u2019t like that.\u201d The Nationals have stated they never asked President Trump to throw out the first pitch. President Trump has yet to throw out a first pitch as President. This makes him the first President since President William Howard Taft in 1910 to not throw a ceremonial first pitch.<\/p>\n The President\u2019s predecessor, President Barack Obama, is a noted Chicago White Sox<\/a> fan, and many Presidents have ties to baseball. President Trump himself is a noted New York Yankees\u00a0<\/a>fan. He has attended many Yankees games before he became President. It is even noted that President Trump played baseball in high school, which make his ties to the game go back to his early days.<\/p>\nFirst Pitch<\/h3>\n
