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.
Usually the President throws out the first pitch on the opening day. Fauci can throw his first pitch any other game.
Excellent letter.
And thank you for your service, sir.
Hear! Hear!
Silence, peasant. Get back to work!
Then all of a sudden, he goes into quarantine....and voila....a mask appears and the good little elf said we MUST all do this if we want to live.
I love Costco. It’s where I got my law degree.
What are the chances he throws like a girl?
Maybe they’ll let him stand 20’ away.
Guess he’ll throw short, huh?
Could be a ringer.....lol
There’s plenty of empty beds in nursing homes here in NJ. Fauci ought to take a bed.
Between this and the tabloid photo shoot Trump has every reason to fire him. We aren’t paying Fauci to be a celebrity.
I hope the Hillary loving old man runt takes a fast ball to his crotch.
What a joke
That quack better be buttoned up in a hazmat bunny suit at MOPP Level 4.
He loves being a celebrity.
He will stretch out the COVID hysteria as long as he can.
