Speaking from the White House, Trump said he accepted an offer from Yankees president Randy Levine. Randy Levines a great friend of mine from the Yankees Trump said. He asked me to throw out the first pitch. And I think Im doing that on August 15 at Yankee Stadium. And I said, Hows the crowd going to be? And, its like, You dont have a crowd. Theres no such thing. Its gonna be interesting. Three days later, Trump said he had to decline the offer. Because of my strong focus on the China Virus, Trump tweeted, referring to the coronavirus, including scheduled meetings on Vaccines, our economy and much else, I wont be able to be in New York to throw out the opening pitch for the @Yankees on August 15th. We will make it later in the season! However there is a new angle to Trumps first pitch decision. The New York Times reports Trump never received an offer from the Yankees to play ball on Aug. 15. Mr. Trump had not actually been invited on that day by the Yankees, according to one person with knowledge of Mr. Trumps schedule. His announcement surprised both Yankees officials and the White House staff. According to the New York Times, Trumps first pitch announcement was motivated by the fact that Dr. Anthony Fauci was throwing out the first pitch on Opening Day at Nationals Park before the game between Yankees and Nationals. Mr. Trump had been so annoyed by Dr. Faucis turn in the limelight, an official familiar with his reaction said, that he had directed his aides to call Yankees officials and make good on a longtime standing offer from Mr. Levine to throw out an opening pitch. No date was ever finalized. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is the leading immunologist in the country and the face of the Trump administrations fight against COVID-19. Thursday at Nationals Park, his first pitch was just a bit outside. NBC Sports Peter King explains why: He told Ben Cohen of the Wall Street Journal he hadnt thrown a baseball in years, so he went out Tuesday night to play catch at a D.C. school, and when he woke up Wednesday morning his arm was killing him. I completely destroyed my arm! Fauci told Cohen. And when he got to the mound Thursday evening, the catcher looked a mile away, and instead of lobbing one, he tried to throw it hard. And, of course, it rolled to the first-base on-deck circle. Bummer. --- https://imgur.com/bbRWLI8 https://imgur.com/A0BErSV https:/i.imgur.com/S1m3po4.jpg https://imgur.com/7fCcfko <cite>Bio1590 posted [p:942698690] in Trump's no...
