Dexter Fowler Gave President Obama A Pair Of Custom Jordans

(CBS) While visiting the White House on Monday to celebrate their championship, the Cubs had plenty of gifts for President Barack Obama.

They gave him a No. 44 jersey — Anthony Rizzo’s number — with “Obama” stitched on the back. They gave him a lifetime pass to Wrigley Field. And they also gave him a tile from the Wrigley Field scoreboard and a hypothetical “pardon” to forgive him of his White Sox fandom.

Dexter Fowler, the championship team’s center fielder who signed with the Cardinals this offseason, also had a unique gift: a pair of custom Jordans.

Fowler also chimed in on Twitter saying he was thrilled with the White House visit — and plans to be back there next year with the Cardinals.

What an honor to be at the White House with my Cubs family. Can't wait to go back next year with my @Cardinals !
