President Trump announced Sunday he wouldn't be throwing out the opening pitch for the New York Yankees next month as he had planned, citing meetings and other work related to the U.S.'s COVID-19 outbreak.
In a tweet, Trump said that he would plan to throw out the first pitch at a game later in the MLB's season, which began last week.
"Because of my strong focus on the China Virus, including scheduled meetings on Vaccines, our economy and much else, I won’t be able to be in New York to throw out the opening pitch for the @Yankees on August 15th. We will make it later in the season!" he tweeted.

Good for him....screw those American hating bastards!!!
This!
He probably does not want to do it because he knows if the National Anthem is played and some players take a knee, which they will, that will become the story of Trump getting dissed by the players.
I have noticed that showing disrespect is, in trashy minds, such as the MSM, a sign of courage. It is not. Any fool can show disrespect.
Too funny!

Safe from vomiting when they kneel for the National Anthem...
Throwing out the first pitch in an empty stadium is not much of an honor.
It’s good that he declined.
Wait for these teams to get their acts together and forget all these Democrat covid shutdowns, Democrat kneeling and Democrat Trump hate.
When the place is packed full of fans and the players are there to play baseball and not to make political statements (if that ever happens)- then throw the first pitch.
Me too. Makes me cry. Wherever I went I kept my NYY loyalty. 55yrs. Sat in bleachers of Fenway routing for pinstripes.
Will never watch another NYY game or any other MLB game after opening day disgrace. steinbrenner and many others, rolling in their graves
Great. Blasio says he’s outraged that the Yankees asked trump to throw the first pitch and trump decides not to do it. I hate when Blasio wins!
Was that a deBlasio win?
That’s a good question. Why would he want to go to that pay toilet and subject himself to the crap that would be there. No way.
“Who dat”? “Signed this year”
“Who dat”? “Traded”
“Who dat”? “Never seen him before”
Baseball dead.
Stand on feet, die on knees.
Nobody is going to see all the expensive commercials of woke corporations wanting people to buy their crap.
Prevented Ted Nugent and somebody else for a blue lives thing. I forget who.
Well I mean debasio said don’t throw the pitch sand trump’s not going to so I would think so.
That’s a good point. I’m sure someone sat down and realized that the optics of that Fauci nitwit throwing out the first pitch in Washington were awful. The stadium is empty, there’s supposedly a national crisis going on, and this midget is out there wearing a baseball jersey for his pathetic theatrical performance?
