Live video: Red Sox welcomed at White House

The Red Sox are in Washington, D.C., where the team is scheduled to take part in a ceremony at the White House with President Bush, saluting the world champions.

It will be the second trip to the White House in recent years. Many of the players also attended a ceremony in the spring of 2005, months after the Sox won the 2004 World Series.

After leaving the White House, the Sox will travel to Walter Reed Army Medical Center where they will visit with some wounded soldiers and bring the World Series trophy.

Francona recalled the team’s last visit to the hospital as emotional and inspiring.

“It was humbling and an honor to be there,” said Francona. “I didn’t hear one person say, ‘Let’s go.’ Everybody wanted to stay and talk [to the patients].”

Weather-permitting, projo.com plans to have a live video feed of the ceremony on the South Lawn today, when the MLB champion Red Sox meet President Bush.
