Anthony Fauci to throw out first pitch at Washington Nationals opener
ESPN ^ | 20 Jul 2020 | ESPN

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.

Perhaps Dr. Fauci can do some batting practice too.

It's all physics.

He’s 80 years old. He doesn’t care about his goose being cooked professionally. He’s going to soak in the celebrity.

Bet he gets booed.
= = = = = = = = =
Only if the PA announcer is not a fan of his.

The fans are being disguised as stadium seats and sound will (supposedly) be piped in— like those stupid laugh tracks on TV were.

To much of ANY politics will again be the end of ALL sports for me.

I ‘gave’ them up after the NFL strike way back when, but took up baseball again when Washington got a team.

Look for Dolittle to do something along the PC line and once the Latinos join in it will be ‘it’ for me.

Should the Latinos be reminded that without MLB etc, most would be living in grass shacks in Guatemala, the Dominican etc etc etc.?

Hillary Clinton will be on first. She will waddle off toward second. Fauci will step off the rubber (I just hope it is not one left by Bill), turn and through Hillary out at second. The whole play will take about 40 seconds because the the First _itch’s blinding speed. The game will be cancelled because Hillary will argue that she was safe for the next four years.

::Fauci’s bureaucratic rigid pendantic approach to “ clinical trials” for treatments have cost thousands of lives that battlefield “ evidence based” therapeutics might have saved::

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He has to keep the ‘Rona going, so that the investment he made in Gates’ vaccine company will pay off.
