The Watch The Fearless OnlineWorld Series champion Chicago Cubs visited Donald Trump in the White House on Wednesday -- which was kind of weird, because they'd already visited Barack Obama in the White House just about six months ago.
But it got even weirder when one Cubs player appeared to give Trump the finger during a photo opp.

That's Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. in the plaid shirt, striking an awkward pose with what sure looks like his middle finger exposed in Trump's general direction.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
"Obviously, it’s unfortunate," Almora said in a subsequent interview with CSN Chicago. "I’m getting ready to take a picture and I’m posing there. But you guys know that I would never do that to the president of the United States."
His argument: There are actually two fingers sticking out of that pocket, which people simply failed to notice.
"I respect everybody," Almora told CSN. "It is what it is. We laugh about it now, but there’s definitely two fingers out there."
Per CSN, a "veteran player" from the Cubs also yelled this across the room where Almora was giving interviews after the team's White House visit: "There was two fingers! Look closely, there was two fingers!"
Added Almora: "Guys were giving me a hard time about it, but I pointed out the second finger. We’re all good."
OK. Case closed then.
But still, dude: Learn to take a picture!
