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.

Oh, my right arm to be in the mascot outfit and torment the crap out of her......
In a town that voted Biden 90%???!?
Okay, sure.👍
It’s DC, they’ll cheer.
watch yer mouth... this is a family site
I’d buy a ticket just to boo her off the field. Then I’d leave the park. I haven’t watched an MLB game sine Mookie took a knee.
HUGE MISTAKE. People OUTSIDE the stadium will hear the RAUCOUS BOOS!!!
She’s gonna toss a screwball...
;-)
Which is why Jen Psaki is doing it in his place. She'll say something like: "I haven't spoken directly with the president about this, but I'm fairly certain he would throw it this way" - and then toss the ball in the general vicinity of the plate.
Prolly throws like an Obama.
Ms. Censorship herself.
Our manufactured national heroes now are public-facing government bureaucrats.
And if he did...
I bet she throws like a girl.
Or like Fauci.
Or Obama.
Yep.
When the left-stream lying media show the re-runs of her pitch, they’ll say she threw a 98 mph fastball down the middle.
Another good reason to avoid MLB all together.
None of Biden’s Men are up to doing it?
I am surprised that William and Mary didn’t nominate its new hire, James Comey, to throw out the first pitch. As Lyndon Johnson might have said, a degree from W&M ain’t worth a bucket of spit.
Wonder if she will do better than Fauci?
