Red Sox visit White House, David Ortiz takes a "selfie" with President Obama

With the World Series champions playing in Baltimore yesterday and tomorrow, they had some free time today to swing by the White House and hang out with the President.

What an honor! Thanks for the #selfie, @BarackObama pic.twitter.com/y5Ww74sEID

It's funny to note that standing in the background of Ortiz's photo is Edward Mujica, a new member of the Red Sox bullpen who was actually on the World Series-losing St. Louis Cardinals last October.

Jonny Gomes ditched his military helmet for a patriotic blazer.

Normally I don't like to just regurgitate the top stories of the moment without adding any unique insight of my own, but this is just too good.  The President also gave a speech in which he invoked memories of his spectacular post-marathon address almost one year ago.
