MLB Asked White House About Hosting a Game in a National Park, Officials Say

Major League Baseball has approached the White House to ask about the possibility of hosting a game within a national park, according to a White House statement.

The statement confirmed that MLB made the inquiry but noted that the National Park Service has not granted a permit for such an event to take place.

No further details were provided about which park MLB may have been considering, the proposed timing of any potential game, or the specific nature of the discussions between the league and the administration.

Any event of this kind inside a national park would typically require review and approval from the National Park Service, given the agency's mandate to protect and manage federally designated public lands.

It remains unclear whether MLB will continue to pursue the idea or whether a formal permit request will be submitted going forward.
