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.

Usually the President throws out the first pitch on the opening day. Fauci can throw his first pitch any other game.

What a phony....For MONTHS Fauci stood shoulder to shoulder with several people including the President...on a stage....going back and forth between here and there to speak...touching EVERYTHING he was near and for all we know could have been contaminating the president who was constantly within arms length....and that's not 6 feet!!!

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.

What are the chances he throws like a girl?
Maybe they’ll let him stand 20’ away.

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.

He loves being a celebrity.

He will stretch out the COVID hysteria as long as he can.
