His curve was a little too flat.
White House coronavirus task force member and diehard baseball fan Dr. Anthony Fauci threw the first pitch at the long-awaited 2020 MLB season opener as the New York Yankees took on the World Series champion Nationals.
But Fauci, 79, should have stuck to infectious diseases as he fumbled the ball straight into the ground.
Wearing a Nationals jersey and a red face mask, the 5-foot 7-inch righty bounced the ball on the grass, crossing the first base line, far wide of home plate.

Has Trump ever thrown a first pitch?
Where is the “Black Lives Matter” sign?
You can’t have baseball without one!
He sucks. Meanwhile, Trump POTUS 3 plus years and never did.
Trump throwing for Yankees Aug 15th.
Trump fired Carol for seeking celebrity status.
LOLOL!!
Take that, Yanks, Nationals and MLB.
What a great symbol.
The time Trump landed his helicopter at center field and threw out a first pitch
No. He will aug 15.
Lifelong Yankee fan.
Way outside to the left. At 59, I think I could still throw a better pitch than that.
Just the kind of mental state you want for someone supposedly working for citizen's health. /sarc
looks like he’s throwing a shotput .....
George W. Bush did pretty well. He threw out the first pitch after 9/11 happened, at a World Series Yankees game. The newspapers reported it appeared to be a strike.
I’d say “stick to your day job” but he sucks ass at that too.
Was there supposed to be no one in the stands? I didnt see anyone except some players and maybe the ground crew. Fauci was in a hurry he had a centerfold shot for Sports Illustrated that he was running a little late.
I am sickened by this throw. This is the best MLB could do on opening day?
What sickens me more is watching the Yankees kneel before the National Anthem tonight.
NO WORDS!!!
Dear Celebrity couldn’t warm up for an hour to at least toss the ball to the catcher?
Perfect metaphor.
Even my 8-month old grandson would have done better.
In all fairness, the league should have taken his age and height into consideration, and had him throw the first ball from 2 feet away.
Must be a Leftist thing.
That was awesome! He frikking winged it!
