Baseball | MLB denies inviting Donald Trump as a guest in the final match: “He called and said he wanted to come into the game”

The United States former president Donald Trump attracted attention over the weekend with her performance in a baseball auditorium while she was with her husband Melania Trumpin with watching the fourth match of the World Series finals between the Atlanta Braves and the Houston Astros.

Trump’s actions in Atlanta angered the indigenous population of the United States when he attended the audience’s ax stroke.

Chairman of the North American Indigenous Interest Group Fawn Sharp told news agency AFP that Tomahawk chop -ele is perceived as degrading.

That gesture is still still common in matches between several U.S. teams. In addition to the Braves audience, at least the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs supporters and fans of Florida State University teams are doing it.

Trump sent an e – mail bulletin on Saturday before the match in which he thanked the MLB commissioner, among other things Rob Manfredia from invitation to match.

“Melania and I are looking forward to a great evening and following two awesome teams,” Trump said in a statement.

However, MLB and Atlanta Braves both publicly denied inviting Trump to the scene. CEO of Braves Terry McGuirk said USA Todaythat they arranged a fence for Trump at his request.

“He called MLB and said he wanted to come into the game. We were very surprised, and of course we agreed, ”McGuirk said.

“We are non-political. We are open to anyone. It’s great that he wants to come to our game. ”

MLB confirmed McGuirk’s report Yahoo Sports.

Braves did not show Trump at any point on the stadium’s video board.

During his presidency, Trump was in 2019 watching the fifth final between the Washington Nationals and Astros. At the time, the Washington audience responded to Trump’s presence with a strong boom, followed by “lock him up” shouts.

The Astros defeated Braves in races 9–5 in the fifth final of this year’s World Series, played on Sunday. The Braves lead the final series with a win of 2–2. Four wins are required for the MLB Championship.
