Will Trump be afraid to throw out the first pitch in the baseball World Series?

[Elwood P Dowd]

Looks like the Washington Nationals are headed to the WS. It will be the first time since 1933 a Washington team, the old Senators, has played in it. Unlike previous presidents, Trump has been too much of a coward to throw out the first pitch for any Washington games since he has been dictator wannabe. Just like he was too much of a coward to serve in the military during the draft years. I think he has been avoiding it because he knows his appearance will be met with a deafening chorus of boos.

1. He won't do it. Did you see the footage where he did it before?

[dem4decades]

2. He'll probably send Ivanka in a tight shirt. That might get a better reception.

[gratuitous]

14. Are Nationals fans particularly fond of kidneys?

Yeah, the President will find someplace to be about 1,000 miles away from Nationals Stadium that weekend.

[Turin_C3PO]

3. He probably can't throw worth a damn.

[hatrack]

29. Hell, he can't walk worth a damn . . . .

Add a bulletproof vest to his back brace, elevator shoes and Depends, and you'd have some athletic comedy gold, I have to think.

[mainstreetonce]

4. I doubt he will do it

but if he does,every person in the stands should blow a whistle.

5. Trump also suffers from shoulder spurs. eom

[Elwood P Dowd]

9. Along with brain spurs. (nm)

[Itchinjim]

32. 🤣

[napi21]

6. Likely doesn't know how to pitch a ball either! People would laugh aty him!! nt

[Vinca]

7. Imagine those tiny, little hands trying to throw a ball. It would be hilarious.

[Dennis Donovan]

10. Yep - I can imagine how a first pitch by Trump could go wrong 50 different ways...

[C_U_L8R]

8. Tiny hands just can't get a grip

but he'll blame his no-show on bone spurs

[Takket]

11. No he will only appear under carefully screened rooms of his fans

He is too chicken to face anyone who doesn’t like him

[CatMor]

12. He would probably tip over.

[roscoeroscoe]

13. Game 1, Ovechkin

Game 2, Ovechkin...

[empedocles]

26. Ovi may be getting a bit trickier. More intense spotlight near the WS

[Karadeniz]

15. He has said that in high school his sport was baseball and he was the star. He could've

Gone professional!

[Elwood P Dowd]

22. He said Deep State operatives along with Obama and Hillary sabatoged his tryout for the NY Yankees

back in 1965.

[FakeNoose]

16. Maybe Barron?

I wonder if his mom would allow him to throw the first pitch. People would be more polite to him I think.

[SeattleVet]

17. He'll hire someone to throw it for him.

And then not pay them.

[GulfCoast66]

18. Riding a golf cart to the mound is a bad look

No chance he does it.

[grantcart]

19. Isn't first pitch for season opener?

[Elwood P Dowd]

21. For the season opener along with other important games, especially the World Series.

Presidents often throw out the first pitch to start the season in Washington. I think Bush Jr threw out the first pitch of the 2001 World Series in New York. That was just a few weeks after 9-11.

[Princess Turandot]

37. Yes..

It was the 3rd game, not the first, since that took place in Arizona.

Somewhat famously now, Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter came upon Bush prior to the game, and asked him if he had practiced his pitching. He then assured him that if he bounced the ball, the crowd would boo him. That sent W. scurrying into the interior practice area under the stands to do just that.

[scarytomcat]

38. The nationals are definitely in the World Series but the first game will be played in either

NY or Houston

[brettdale]

20. if he does do it

I bet they pipe in crowd cheers over the speakers.

[smirkymonkey]

23. If he's not, he should be.

He's a fucking joke. He has no right to such an honor and basically, he has no aptitude to do such a thing.

[BlueStater]

24. He won't go. He doesn't want to be publicly booed.

The World Series can be attended by anyone, not just dipshits who like him.

[Captain Stern]

25. Absolutely

Every single President since Taft has thrown at least one ceremonial first pitch at a major league baseball game......except trump.

He knows he might be booed, or even worse...laughed at.

He can't face either of those things. He's a coward.

[empedocles]

27. The blowback from his conspicuous absence will be 'noted' - pervasively

[tblue37]

28. Would they let him ride a golf cart to the mound? (Asking for an illegitimate president.)nt

[beachbumbob]

30. He will never let himself be subjected to 50,000 National fans booing him

not now, not ever.

[atreides1]

31. It's a tradition not a requirement!

The Nationals should invite a wounded veteran who is also a D.C. native...in reality it's the people of D.C. who have done more for the team then Trump has ever done!!!

Sometimes changing a tradition is a good thing....

[samnsara]

33. awwww he can do underhand pretty good!

[Croney]

34. If he draws it with a Sharpie and puts it on Faux News,

it will be called the best pitch in the history of baseball.

[Captain Zero]

35. He can't sit still for an entire baseball game anyway, ADHD

It would be great to see him booed.

[sdfernando]

36. I was going to say

Yeah the boos....plus he throws like a girl. But I've seen those girls and women throw baseballs and they can really kick ass, so I retract that and just say can't hold a ball in those tiny hands of his.
