Dutch Prime Minister will hand over a Dutch baseball jersey as a gift to Pres. Obama

Tonight, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte will give President Obama a Dutch Baseball jersey. It will be the same as the Dutch team wore during the World Cup. The jersey will carry Obama's name and uniform number 44 on the back and it. The 44 refers to the fact that Obama is the 44th president of the United States.

A foto will follow.

I see the Prime Minister of Dutch receiving a NBA jersey in the near future.

If he got one now it would make sense, considering the players aren't using them!

Many Dutch fans were hoping that a photo would be made of the moment that Obama received the jersey, but I have been told that the protocol of the White House doesn't allow to do so.

Too bad.

Well, finally there is a photo available. Not one of the moment itself but at least one of the jersey.

Have to say that is a sharp jersey man.
