Jill Biden will attend Game Four of the World Series

First Lady Jill Biden will get to see her beloved Philadelphia Phillies play a World Series game, as she’s set to attend Tuesday night’s face-off against the Houston Astros. 

The White House announced Monday that the first lady would make the trip as part of the administration’s ‘Cancer Moonshot’ initiative. 

It’s a tradition to dedicate a portion of Game Four to those affected by cancer, as part of the MLB’s partnership with Stand Up To Cancer.

President Joe Biden on Friday showed a Philadelphia crowd that he was sporting Phillies’ socks 

The president and first lady haven’t been shy about showing off their Philly fandom during the baseball post-season. 

Dr. Biden was born in New Jersey, but grew up in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, a town just north of Philadelphia. 

The president was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, but grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, with his closest major league sports teams located in Philadelphia. 

The first lady returned to the White House wearing a Phillies jersey on October 23, the night the team beat the San Diego Padres to win the National League title. 

That win put them in the World Series against Houston.  

At a recent fundraiser Dr. Biden spoke about how growing up her family spent more time talking about the Philadelphia Phillies than politics. 

The president showed his Philly love on Friday by lifting up his leg at a fundraiser for Democrats John Fetterman and Josh Shapiro and showing the Philadelphia crowd he was wearing Phillies socks. 

‘Oh, God, I love Philly,’ Biden said. ‘I love Philly so much I married a Philly girl.’ 

He then pulled up his pantleg to show off his red socks with the trademark cursive ‘P.’ 

‘We got a good year going – the Phillies and the Eagles,’ he continued. ‘Look, folks, I better get this on the way because the Phillies are playing tonight. And I love you all, but I’d like to see the game too,’ the president added. 

So far, the Phillies and the Astros have each won one game. 

In the series with the Padres, the Phillies allowed the San Diego team to win Game Two, and then went on to beat them in the next three games. 

The two teams play Game Three Monday night. 

Neither team will clinch the World Series the night Dr. Biden is in attendance. 

Earlier this month, the first lady also attended a Philadelphia Eagles game, which was also part of her cancer advocacy. 

That appearance created headlines when a video went around the internet that appeared to show the crowd vigorously booing the first lady. 

That video was later found to have been manipulated.   

Philadelphia sports fans have a reputation for being hostile, thanks to a 1968 incident in which Eagles fans were so angry at the team’s poor season they booed Santa Claus.
