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.
With or without gloves? Just sayin....
O and Trump sends the wrong message when he does wear a mask......
The little, commie, PIAPS-loving POS needs to be in a cell at GITMO as an domestic enemy terrorist....not tossing baseballs.
Don’t watch it. Baseball has already said it is going to make some major social BLM movements
Sounds like a bowel movement. I have already given up the NFL season
The article had a few misspellings which I’ll correct here:
“...Fauci is a preening attention-whore bureaucrat who screwed up the AIDs epidemic, the H1N1 crisis and whose only notable achievement has been managing to draw a salary from taxpayers for decades without actually doing anything meaningful.”
He must wear gloves and mask and maybe even those little slip-on shoes and then throw a pitch like Obama.
Now isn’t that just cute.
Social distancing and face masks I presume?
He will take off his mask when the camera is off.
Trump and Pence have been the true champions of this crisis
Fauci’s bureaucratic rigid pendantic approach to “ clinical trials” for treatments have cost thousands of lives that battlefield “ evidence based” therapeutics might have saved
Why has no journalist ever thought to ask if he’s ever been to that notorious Wuhan biolab? When? How many times?
What is he doing out there when we are supposed to be all lockeddown in our homes? Or is this just for the little people?
Kiss MLB goodbye guys.
Here is my letter to the KC Royals, feel free to change it to meet your situation:
After fighting 3 wars in 20 years, I have found that the KC Royals no longer represent my interest or the interest of the country I love. For the last 20 years, Critical Theory has been an insidious lie taught in our universities— and the Royals bought it hook, line, and sinker. Your position isn’t representative of Mid-Western values. We tend to cling to facts, and the facts are not with BLM; nor will they ever be.
I and many more like me have sacrificed way too much to see the advancement of a LIE, and the lack of corporate moral courage to take a stand.
No need to reply, MLB and the Royals are dead to me.
Sincerely,
A former Gunnery Sergeant
look at this from the positive side- he’s basically endorsing the start of baseball season after saying football should not be played.
Boycott televised sports at every level. It’s all fake, woke, crap
