Dressed in a red hot mini dress and matching pumps, the blond bombshell “romanticized” the upcoming game as she told fans, “Why not roll out the red carpet and place their names exactly where they belong? High above the streets in shining lights.
“Winning, real winning, isn’t polished. It’s bruised, it’s messy, it’s imperfect, it’s everything you can’t fake. It’s earned, it’s beautiful all on its own,” she continued as clips of the teams played out onscreen.
“Let’s just save the Hollywood for the ending,” Sweeney concluded. “Welcome to Game Four of the World Series on Fox.”
The 28-year-old was also in attendance at the game, sharing several Instagram photos with her friends. She sat with Christy Martin, the woman she plays in the biopic, “Christy.”

Sweeney’s rise to fame has been marred by controversy after a 2022 birthday party for her mom exposed her political affiliation.
At the time, the “White Lotus” actress had thrown a MAGA-themed party for her mom with red hats that read “Make Sixty Great Again.”
By the summer of 2025, she was accused of spreading Nazi propaganda with an American Eagle jeans campaign that used the tagline, “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.”
In 2025, she appeared in an American Eagle campaign that boasted about her “great jeans,” a play on the word “genes.” American Eagle

The original line read “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Genes,” however, the word “genes” was crossed out with a white line to be corrected to “Jeans.”
Although many celebs slammed the campaign and made fun of it, President Trump praised it while she remained silent about the backlash.
It was later revealed that Sweeney was a registered Republican in Florida.
