Dr. Anthony Fauci will throw out the ceremonial first pitch Thursday night before the reigning World Series champion Washington Nationals kick off the shortened 2020 season at home against the New York Yankees.
Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a member of the White House coronavirus task force, and he has been one of the faces of the United States' fight against the pandemic.
He's also a big fan of the Nationals -- often wearing a face mask with team logos -- and when MLB's season was on hiatus, he spoke of wanting to see them play again.
"Dr. Fauci has been a true champion for our country during the COVID-19 pandemic and throughout his distinguished career, so it is only fitting that we honor him as we kick off the 2020 season and defend our World Series championship title," the Nationals said in a statement.
Anthony Fauci paid for the gain of function experiment in the Wuhan lab that resulted in the pandemic.
He is a mass murderer.
He is not a hero.
Man, if they start up with that BLM stuff, I’ll be done with them.
Bet he gets booed.
Exactly what I was thinking. If regular fans can’t attend, why should he get to attend? Shouldn’t he be setting an example for us commoners?
When I saw the headline, I first thought it was from the Babylon Bee.
Beautiful letter! I may just pilfer from it if I have to send a letter to my beloved (for now) Angels.
He’s been throwing out pitches daily, for months.
What’s next?
Emcee the Academy Awards? Magazine covers? Nobel Prize?
Watch for a spitball

Have the ump check- I’m betting it will be a spitball.
Anthony Fauci sent taxpayer cash to the Wuhan China lab to extract coronavirus from bats and make the coronavirus more contagious / more deadly / more invasive.
Don’t look up at BLM and Major league baseball on Google. You will be done with them
The first problem is that the season opener is an interleague game. The second is that it features a recent expansion team. It wasn’t so long ago that it was understood that the season opener would be a day game from the oldest team in the senior league ... the Cincinnati Reds of the National League, playing another National League team.
Fauci suppressed his own study that showed hydroxychloroquine was effective against corona viruses. This will go down in history as among his biggest lies to the American people. Deadly!
Just beat me...damn
I don’t read or watch espn any longer. They used to be entertainment, but no longer. I might have to stop watching satellite altogether if I can’t get them to dump espn.
What’s next?
Emcee the Academy Awards? Magazine covers? Nobel Prize?
My money’s on “Dancing With The Stars.”
