Puerto Rican Carlos Beltran Will Skip White House Visit

(Reuters) - Recently retired Carlos Beltran will skip the Major League champion Houston Astros’ visit to the White House, he said on Tuesday, citing family reasons while also criticising the United States government and agencies. “One thing that really impressed me a lot was how fast that city was able to get back on its feet,” the 40-year-old Beltran told reporters at an award dinner in New York. There’s no doubt that I‘m disappointed and I‘m not the only one.
