Photos: Yanks Visit The White House

Andrew Marchand has some more details on their visit:
The ceremony at the White House was nicely put together in the East Room due to the rain. President Obama congratulated the Steinbrenner family and then told charitable stories about Mark Teixeira, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter and Joe Girardi.

They were stories that are familiar to Yankee fans, like the fact that Don Mattinglytold Jeter to always hustle because you never knew who was watching.

Two guys who weren't mentioned by the President were striking. If you are known to have used PEDs, you didn't get singled out by the President. So no Alex Rodriguez or Andy Pettitte mentions.
He goes on to say that the Yanks didn't spend much time with the President, and that the team seemed moved by their visit to the Walter Reed Medical Center and the Malone House earlier in the day.
