A World Series championship Chicago Cubs team hasn't visited the White House in 108 years. President Barack Obama made sure it was a memorable one.

"Do know, that among Sox fans, I am the Cubs' number one fan," Obama, a lifelong Chicago White Sox fan, said Monday afternoon as he honored the North Side team.

It capped a ceremony filled with honors, jokes, accolades and even a "pardon" from Theo Epstein, president of Baseball Operations for the Cubs.

Relive the historic celebration below, including Obama finding commonality with David Ross, a story about the president catching a staffer at a game instead of in the office, and why he and First Lady Michelle Obama have a divided baseball household.

Obama welcomes the Chicago Cubs to the White House: "I will say to the Cubs, it took you long enough. I've only got four days left."
