107-Year-Old Woman Crosses First MLB Game Off Bucket List
Virginia McLaurin became a social media darling after visiting the Obamas.
Her signature dance is also going viral again today after the Washington Nationals posted video of McLaurin at her first Major League Baseball game this week. The team presented her with her own jersey featuring her special number 107.

The D.C. woman has also danced with the Harlem Globetrotters since visiting the White House, and several area officials helped her after it was reported that she couldn't get her own I.D.
