Pride and tears for Royals fans as they watch team visit President of the United States
Yes, Royals fans knew the team would visit the White House after winning the 2015 World Series.
Still, when the moment arrived there was plenty of emotion from fans when they actually saw the team with President Barack Obama.
This is amazing. I’ll remember watching this for the rest of my life. I know you guys know this, but I LOVE the @Royals!
