Nationals principal owner Mark Lerner said President Trump has “every right” to attend Sunday’s World Series game in Washington to watch the Nationals face off against the Astros.
“Well, he has every right to come,” Lerner said in an interview with The Washington Post Friday. “He’s the president of the United States whether you like him or not. It’s a special event. He should be at it.”
The president will not throw out the first pitch of Sunday’s game, with the Nationals instead tapping chef, philanthropist and vocal Trump critic José Andrés for the honor.
“The first pitches are our call, and we felt there are many other candidates that should be considered before [Trump],” Lerner said. “We wanted to have the right people. I think we got a nice mix of people.”
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said the league spoke with Trump about throwing out a first pitch, but that Trump declined, citing concerns about causing delays for fans entering the stadium.
“We actually had a conversation with him about first pitches,” Manfred told The Post. “His view was that in order to make the fan experience as positive as possible, he would arrive at Game 5 sometime after the game began so it wouldn’t interfere with fans getting into the stadium. Quite frankly, we were very grateful for that.”

I just made it up. But it does sound like something she might say.
Ticket prices ranged from $700 for standing room to over $2K for the better seats. Too rich for me.
What a joke. The guy is a complete butthurt jerk. Trump Hotels sued him for $10 million in a breach of contract suit. Can’t wait to see him toss out the first pitch like a little girl. A baseball is not a pastry.
Ms. Pelosi is becoming batsh$t crazy.
Lerner was a big friend of obozo. Still, he's in his nineties so I would forgive him for some awkward phrasing here.
First name that pops into my mind is Harmon Killebrew
If Killebrew throws the first pitch, it will be miraculous. He passed away earlier this year.
We, the people will be watching how the crowd in the stand reacts to one of the greatest presidents our country has ever had. If they boo or jeer the POTUS, he will only get stronger in the heart and soul of the American people!!! we shall see Monday evening!!!
Trump has an Astros jersey from 2017 that was handed to him the following spring at the White House.
He gives tons of money to Nats players charities...
In his younger years...yes, The New York City street kid, Trump was quite the ballplayer....he knows the game inside and out!!!
The question should be “do you sleep well at night under constant death threats”?
Trump said he’d like to come to the game, owner said of course. MLB asked Trump if he wanted to throw out first pitch, Trump said no.

I have no grief with Andres. He and the Trump Organization settled their lawsuits, apparently amicably. Plus the Trumps ended up with a David Burke restaurant in their DC hotel. Burke is a top-notch chef.
I didn’t really care for Andres when he judged a couple of episodes of Iron Chef America. He was obnoxiously flamboyant. BUT, he really is a notable philanthropist.
You sound like a massive snowflake. Trump asked to attend. He’s a big boy. He can handle it.
What’s really scary is it doesn’t sound made up.
The Dems have finally dropped their masks and have exposed themselves as the radical socialists the right has been saying they are for years.
No different than the Dems want Barr to recuse himself from the Ukraine investigation, yet they are fine with Schiff chairing an investigation when he is a fact witness.
We are truly in bizarro land.
Pity the Nats! The “Trump Curse” is an elemental force of nature. It strikes remorselessly, relentlessly, and always. And I had such hope for the Nats in this series, being two games up and all.
I went from pulling for the Nats to celebrating the Astros win last night and hoping for three more wins on their part. I would love to see Trump clapping for the Astros tomorrow night, he needs Texas a lot more than he needs DC.
