Verlander in a gold suit. Hype.
Excerpt from the White Sox visiting the White House in 2006:
“MR. KONERKO: Mr. President, on behalf of our organization, and all the fans on the South Side and all over the world, we want to present you with this jersey and jacket.
THE PRESIDENT: I thought you were going to give me a loan. (Laughter.)
MR. DYE: And also, we know deep down you probably wish this was a Houston Astros jacket. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: Now wait a minute —
MR. DYE: Hopefully this will do.
MR. KONERKO: Thanks for having us here today.
THE PRESIDENT: Actually it was a Texas Rangers jacket. (Laughter and applause.)”
