David Ortiz has been the face of the Boston Red Sox for years, so it came as no surprise when the star decided to share a selfie with the face of America, President Barack Obama, during the team's visit to the White House on Tuesday morning.

Obama hosted the team at The White House to congratulate them on their World Series victory last season.

Ortiz took a selfie with President Obama on his phone and posted it to Twitter. More than 30,000 retweets later, the photo is still blowing up social media, and it represents the growing trend of selfies going viral. Obama made headlines when he was a part of a selfie at the late South African President Nelson Mandela's funeral service in December.

"What an honor! Thanks for the #selfie, @BarackObama," Ortiz wrote in his tweet, which was posted at 9:25 a.m."

The Commander in Chief was presented with an "Obama" Red Sox jersey, complete with number 44 stitched on the back to represent his place in the history of United States presidents. Although Obama is a White Sox fan, he still had plenty of positive words to say about the Red Sox, especially when it came to the team's efforts after the Boston bombings.

"Even a White Sox fan can love these guys. Boston and the Red Sox were one," he said," according to Boston's Twitter page.

The Boston Red Sox had the day off on Tuesday after starting the new season on Monday in Baltimore. The Orioles and Red Sox will continue their four game series on Wednesday before wrapping things up on Thursday.
