“There were doubts about turning things around, but you never gave up. You never gave up and you kept the faith…and after a tough season, you're in the final team to make the playoffs. The saying goes, ‘Winners simply win,’” the president said.

The team presented Biden with a jersey bearing the number 46 on it.
