Trump Gets Laughs Hosting the L.A. Dodgers, on Statistic Saying They Played the Longest Season in MLB History: ‘I Don’t Know What the Hell That Means’

‘Pauses and chuckles, then shrugs it off before continuing to congratulate the team’

TRANSCRIPT:

TRUMP: “This group started their title defense with nine pitchers injured before the first fastball was ever thrown. They played their opening game in Tokyo and traveled more than 2,000 miles. That’s more than any team has ever traveled. In fact, from the first pitch to the final out, they endured and triumphed through the longest season of any team in the history of Major League Baseball, 229 days. I didn’t know that. Did you know that? That’s a pretty crazy fact. I mean, it’s not the kind of fact you think about. What, is it going to be half a day longer or something? I don’t know. That’s a different kind of a fact, Mark, than I ever heard. But that’s what they give me to read, so what can I tell you. 220, the longest season ever. I don’t know what the hell that means.”
