    Virginia McLaurin is getting her best life.

    After dancing with President Barack Obama at the White House earlier this year, she busted a move this time with Washington Nationals’ manager Dusty Baker. She was presented with a custom jersey before the team’s 2-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.

    McLaurin was honored during a pregame ceremony for Black Heritage Day at Nationals Park. She was part of a celebration that gives notice to the contributions African-Americans have made to baseball.

    How can we be down with McLaurin?
