Ravens coach John Harbaugh pushes back on reporter for negatively questioning Trump White House visit
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh defended his recent meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House when a reporter confronted the coach about it on Wednesday. Harbaugh and several family members — including his brother, Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh — were invited to the White House earlier this month. During his media availability at Ravens training camp on Wednesday, a reporter framed a question on the visit around Trump's previous comments criticizing Baltimore as a city. The Ravens coach criticized the reporter for the framing of the question and insisted that he "roots" for the president. "How you framed that question — I would have framed that question like: 'You got a chance to go visit with the president, man. What was that experience like?'" Harbaugh said. "It was amazing. It was awesome. And I promise you I root for our president. I want our president to be successful just like I want my quarterback to be successful, and I want my team to be successful, and it was an amazing experience. It's not often you get invited, and you get a chance to do something like that as a family." Harbaugh went on to recount his and his brother's experiences meeting former Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan. "And that's the fourth president [I've met]. Now, Jim has met seven [presidents]. Jim has met seven presidents, so he's got the lead on me. I think he pointed that out; did you guys notice that? He's got seven; I've got four. "So, I had a chance to meet President [Barack] Obama twice. Incredible experience. I had a chance to meet President [Joe] Biden when he was vice president in Iraq, and I spent a lot of time with him in Iraq, which was amazing. "And then [when I was] 24 or 25 years old, Jim got invited to the White House to meet President [Ronald] Reagan because he was a Heisman Trophy candidate, and we got to go as a family, so I met President Reagan. I have a picture in my office of that. So those are moments that I definitely cherish, and it means a lot." Meanwhile, Jim Harbaugh spoke positively of the visit during a press conference last Wednesday. "There's a lot of gratitude there to be invited to the White House to meet the president with my family, my mom and dad. President Trump was just great to my mom and dad. That meant so much. My brother John; his daughter Allison; my two daughters, Addie and Katie; and my sister Joanie; and my niece Ainsley. So, there's nine of us, and it was great," the Chargers coach said. "I mean, who gets invited to the White House with eight other family members and doesn't go? Nobody."

Dad Bryson Stott launches a home run, Bryce Harper hits his 350th in 9-8 loss to Red Sox
Dad energy fueled Bryson Stott as he launched a home run — along with four of his Philadelphia Phillies teammates — but it wasn't enough to beat the Boston Red Sox Wednesday night. The game at Citizens Bank Park started strong for Philadelphia, with first baseman Bryce Harper hitting a milestone 350th home run in the first inning off Boston starter Lucas Giolito. He hit a first pitch fastball into the second deck in right field at Citizens Bank Park. The 439-foot homer run was his longest since a 451-foot blast on Sept. 23, 2023, against the New York Mets. "It's pretty awesome," Harper said after the Phillies' 9-8, 11-inning loss to Boston. "On an individual note, I'm super happy about it. But I always want to win, obviously, and not getting the win was pretty tough." The homer was the hardest hit ball of the season for Harper, who has begun to look like his former MVP self in recent weeks. In his last 10 games, the 32-year-old slugger has 16 hits, 14 for extra bases, including five home runs. He became the 105th player in MLB history to reach 350 homers in a career and is the eighth active player to accomplish the feat. He is also the youngest in that group of eight to reach that milestone. Stott, who also hit a double in the game, shared on Instagram that he and wife Dru Scott welcomed their second child, a baby boy, to the world just before 4 a.m. Wednesday morning. "It was a big night for the offense," Harper said. "I thought we've swung the bat well all series. I thought we had some great at-bats. I'm super pumped for (Stott) obviously, having a baby at 3:45 in the morning, not getting much rest and then coming in and (doing what he did in the game) - that's baseball. I swear it happens every time." Despite the loss, the Phillies can take some solace that the offense has been starting to drive the ball with more authority since the All-Star break. "It's disappointing (to lose)" Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. "But the offense was good tonight." Harper's homer came right after a home run by Kyle Schwarber, who has gone deep four times in the last six games and ranks third in the NL with 34 homers. Nick Castellanos and J.T. Realmuto also homered in the loss for the Phillies. Realmuto's homer was his first against a left-handed pitcher this season.
