Dexter Fowler Brings Special Gift for President Obama to the White House

What is it with Dexter Fowler and giving unbelievable presents?

The former Cubs outfielder gave each of his teammates the perfect NLCS gift, paid off the layaway accounts of dozens of Chicago-area families, and then outdid himself with a meaningful present for Joe Maddon to celebrate their historic World Series championship. 

Never one to show up empty-handed, you could say Fowler has a knack for picking out just the right thing - and he certainly did not disappoint with his present for President Obama at the White House on Monday. 

Now a member of the St. Louis Cardinals, Fowler posted a video teasing to his "top secret" delivery for the commander in chief on Sunday, revealing a box with a presidential seal and the iconic Jumpman logo. [[410847005, C]]

Then as the Cubs made their way to the White House, fans got a glimpse of what was hidden in that box - and it was awesome.

Fowler brought a custom pair of Air Jordans with the presidential seal and even Obama's signature engraved on the side. [[410846975, C]]

It was a perfect gift (among many from the Cubs, including a lifetime pass to Wrigley Field) for the president, an avid basketball player who even awarded Michael Jordan the Presidential Medal of Freedom in November.
