WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki to throw first pitch at Nationals-Padres game

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki will throw the opening pitch Sunday for a game between the Washington Nationals and the San Diego Padres.

The announcement came Friday afternoon ahead of the DC team’s “William & Mary Day” that honors the press secretary’s Virginia alma mater.

“On Sunday, July 18 against the San Diego Padres, the Nationals will host William & Mary Day,” the team said in a press release. “Ceremonial First Pitch will be thrown by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, a graduate of William & Mary.“

Press secretaries rarely receive the honor of throwing opening pitches, which are best-remembered for going to presidents and other senior officials.

Last year, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, embarrassed himself by badly missing home plate at Nationals Park. He then violated his own COVID-19 advice by watching the game without a mask while sitting sandwiched between two other people in a mostly empty stadium.

President Biden, 78, has not yet thrown an opening pitch while in office.

“Biden, 78, has not yet thrown an opening pitch while in office.”
Wasn’t he in the home run derby though?

My 90 year old dad told me that black mothers pick 4 letters from a jar and add isha to it for girls and start with D’ for boys.

This melding of the Biden administration with corporate life at so many levels is both obscene and dangerous. Had Psaki been a Republican press secretary with the same record of incompetence and lying, she would have been fired by now, not throwing first pitches at a MLB baseball game.

Oh yeah? I bet she can’t get thrown out of a restaurant with her family.

I wouldn’t watch sports if you paid me.

"I believe mlb will insert fake applause."

You know, this is actually interesting because when the stadiums were EMPTY because of Covid, they would play fake applause to encourage the players.

In other words, the MLB has gotten very good at the FAKE APPLAUSE.

They might not want to announce the public appearances of the Mouth of Sauron in advance. ‘Strike teams’, eh?
