who was the first president to have the MLB World Series winner at the White House?

One of the earliest recorded visits by a baseball team to the White House was in 1865. The Civil War had ended less than five months earlier, yet President Andrew Johnson found time to greet the members of the Brooklyn Atlantic, which had beaten the National Club of Washington in a game played on the White House grounds. Four years later, the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, visited the White House and met President Ulysses S. Grant, who was born near Cincinnati.

The president was Andrew Johnson.

The first World Series winners to visit the White House appear to be the Washington Senators. The team won the championship in 1924, prompting a flood of letters from fans imploring President Calvin Coolidge to honor the local heroes. Coolidge was no baseball fan, and the meeting did not take place.

But in 1925, Coolidge met the Senators after they won the American League pennant. He called the players by their first names and posed for a picture with them, according to a report in The Times. The Senators went on to blow a three-games-to-one lead in the World Series, losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
