President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social Saturday to celebrate an eight-game Boston Red Sox winning streak, noting the team hasn't lost since visiting him at the White House July 3. 

"They haven’t lost since they saw me in the Oval. 8 wins in a row!" Trump wrote with a photo from the team's latest win against the Tampa Bay Rays. 

Boston extended its winning streak to eight on Friday night with a 5-4 come-from-behind walk-off win over Tampa Bay. Ceddanne Rafaela hit a game-winning two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning for the Red Sox.

The Red Sox made an impromptu visit to see Trump at the White House July 3. Typically, teams will visit the White House after winning a championship to celebrate with the president. In this case, the team dropped by because it was in Washingtonm, D.C., for a game against the Nationals and had a day off. 

Trevor Story, Justin Wilson, Abraham Toro, Romy González, Connor Wong, Greg Weissert, Wilyer Abreu, Garrett Whitlock, Brennan Bernardino and Rob Refsnyder all shook hands with Trump in the Oval Office.

"The team toured the White House today as part of their family road trip to D.C.," a team spokesperson said, via MassLive.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora has been critical of Trump in the past to the point he opted out of visiting the White House in 2019 to commemorate the team's 2018 World Series title.

During an interview on "The Mayor's Office" podcast back in January, Cora admitted he skipped out on meeting Trump because he wanted to prioritize his home country of Puerto Rico. When the Red Sox visited the White House in May 2019, Puerto Rico was still recovering from the destruction of Hurricane Maria in 2017, and Cora wasn't satisfied with the federal government's response. 

"One of the things that — it's not that I regret, but I think I should've been more clear — it was a visit to the White House," Cora said. "I have nothing against the president at that moment. It was Donald Trump at that moment, President Trump, but I felt me celebrating something at that stage, while [Puerto Ricans] were still suffering, it was bad. I didn't feel comfortable doing it." 

Cora says he would have felt "awkward" celebrating at the White House given the state of his country at the time. 

"We are part of the United States," he added. "What they do for us is amazing — the funding, all of that — but there was still work to do. And I felt very awkward, like, 'Let's celebrate this at the White House,' right, while a lot of people suffered here. People took it like politics. No. My thing is sports and my family, right?"

Former NFL offensive tackle Luis Sharpe, a three-time Pro Bowler, died on Friday, his former team confirmed. He was 65.

Sharpe played in the league for 13 seasons, all with the Arizona Cardinals franchise. He was a first-round pick of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1982.

While Sharpe only played for the Cardinals, he played in three different cities. He spent the first six seasons of his career in St. Louis, and the next six seasons in Phoenix when the team moved to Arizona.

The final season of Sharpe’s career was the first one the Cardinals franchise rebranded to become the Arizona Cardinals. Sharpe started all 189 games he played in his career. 

"Throughout his lengthy and accomplished career with the Cardinals, Luis Sharpe exhibited an uncommon type of strength and toughness that made him so successful as a player," Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill said in a statement. 

"Admirably, he would later demonstrate those same traits in dealing with the personal challenges he faced when his career was over. We send our deepest condolences to all of those who loved Luis, in particular his family and former teammates."

Following his NFL career, Sharpe battled a drug addiction and spent time in jail, but he turned his life around and got sober. In 2015, Sharpe moved back to his home state of Michigan to get out of Arizona. 

"I feel a sense of purpose now," Sharpe told The Athletic in 2020. "I feel more significant than I ever did when I was playing professional football. My life is better today. I tell people all the time, 'What I thought was my greatest curse has turned into my greatest blessing.'"

In the final years of his life, Sharpe spent time counseling patients in Detroit at a sobriety clinic. The three-time Pro Bowler also worked with the NFL to help former players with their health in their post-playing days.

"I recognize today I have the life I have because I've overcome so many obstacles and so many challenges," Sharpe said. "God wanted me to go out and do exactly what I'm doing, to share my life with others, to tell them my fall from grace and say, 'If I can stand before you today as a productive member of society, so can you.'"
