Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s top infectious disease expert, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the first game of Major League Baseball’s pandemic-delayed regular season.

The Washington Nationals announced Monday that Fauci -- a self-described fan of the reigning World Series champions -- accepted the team’s invitation to have the pregame honor Thursday night.

In their new release about Fauci’s role at the opener, the Nationals refer to him as “a true champion for our country” during the pandemic “and throughout his distinguished career.”

Anthony "Sexiest Man Alive" Fauci gets highly rewarded for carrying water for the deep state.

Meanwhile the rest of us are going broke due to his bullshit.

According to ESPN, Major League Baseball will add crowd noise sound effects to their TV broadcasts, and even inside the (nearly empty) stadiums.

Expect to “hear” wild cheering when Fauci walks out to the mound.

Yes, Fauci expects to see everyone masked up.

And he will expect after every pitch, the ball should be disinfected.

And if a fielder tags the runner with the ball in his glove, both the ball and his glove must be taken to the disinfection chamber.

After every batted ball, the bat and ball should be disinfected, shouldn’t they? After all, the bat could have the virus and infect the ball, and vice versa. They can’t be too careful, can they? Player will need a new bat and a new ball must be put in play after every ball is hit.

What is the over under that it hits the ground before getting to the plate?

Baseball was on life support before this season.

Catering to BLM may kill the league for good.

And if a runner scores a run, they need to be given a Wuhan test.

He’s probably been practicing throwing for days. Instead of doing his job. Maybe it’s better that way.
