White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki will throw the opening pitch Sunday for a game between the Washington Nationals and the San Diego Padres.

The announcement came Friday afternoon ahead of the DC team’s “William & Mary Day” that honors the press secretary’s Virginia alma mater.

“On Sunday, July 18 against the San Diego Padres, the Nationals will host William & Mary Day,” the team said in a press release. “Ceremonial First Pitch will be thrown by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, a graduate of William & Mary.“

Press secretaries rarely receive the honor of throwing opening pitches, which are best-remembered for going to presidents and other senior officials.

Last year, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, embarrassed himself by badly missing home plate at Nationals Park. He then violated his own COVID-19 advice by watching the game without a mask while sitting sandwiched between two other people in a mostly empty stadium.

President Biden, 78, has not yet thrown an opening pitch while in office.

She may have to circle back and catch the very ball she throws.

[StAntKnee]

Prolly throws like an Obama.

[NohSpinZone]

William of Orange would be ashamed to have such an inveterate liar attend the school named in his and his wife’s honor.

I hope she circles back and takes a shower and washes her hair. This woman always looks greasy and smelly.

[Paladin2]

Is she going to Choke Up?

[struggle]

Wait until everyone booos her

“On Sunday, July 18 against the San Diego Padres, the Nationals will host William & Mary Day,” the team said in a press release. “Ceremonial First Pitch will be thrown by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, a graduate of William & Mary.“

Did the Nationals ever invite Kayleigh McEnany to throw out the first pitch? Or any other member of Trump's administration?

[Robert A Cook PE]

It will be a legal pitch too: Spitball. She gonna stand for the national anthem?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Biden can’t manage the walk up to top of the pitcher’s mound. Much less throw.

[CivilWarBrewing]

You're right. MAJOR league, MAJOR boos..

The network will scrub the boos, they're already expecting it, probably.

YouTube will BAN any privately-recorded video that records the boos.

I think the decibel level of the boos will be STRIKING, actually.

“Wait until everyone booos her”

[CGASMIA68]
