Carlos Beltran to skip Astros' White House visit
I support Beltran on this http://www.chron.com/sports/astros/article/Astros-Carlos-Beltran-skip-White-House-visit-Trump-12558683.php?ipid=happening
As part of the celebration of winning the World Series, the Astros plan to visit the White House on March 12 and be honored by President Donald Trump as a team. They won't be joined by Carlos Beltran.
"No, I'm not gonna go. Honestly, I'm not going. I'm going to stay with my family," the retired Beltran told reporters Tuesday in Manhattan, where he was honored at the annual Thurman Munson Award dinner. "I'm going to be here in New York City."
Beltran said his decision to skip the White House visit had nothing to do with Trump, but the Puerto Rican-born player said he was disappointed in the government's response to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico.
