President Barack Obama welcomed the team to the White House Monday, four days before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. Cubs First Baseman Anthony Rizzo presented Mr. Obama with a Cubs jersey, numbered 44 for the 44th president. The Cubs also gave Mr. Obama a tile from Wrigley Field, an autographed Cubs Win flag, and lifelong tickets to the ballpark.
