Nobody thought a lot about it at the time because we didn’t know what an evil fuck he was but now...all bets are off. He should be throwing out the first pitch tonight. It’s tradition but it’s another presidential norm he’s throwing to the side. He said it was because they’d have to put body armor in him.,.and it’s heavy...what a baby. IMHO, it’s because he can’t throw a baseball. It’s on film. Comedians made fun of him back in the day and he hates being laughed at.

The actual crowd was hostile towards him. On news stations and sports channels they changed booing to cheers if I remember correctly?

I don't think they actually piped in cheers in the stadium.

It looked even stranger with the ill-fitting baseball jacket thrown over the suit jacket.

Dad came to his dorm to pick him up for a Yankees game. Don Jr opened the wearing a Yankees jersey. Trump slapped him so hard he fell down. Trump said "Put on a suit and meet me outside."

The Nationals have asked Chef José Andrés to throw the first pitch

The Nationals are throwing shade on the orange anus, who is rumored to attend the game because he hates Chef José Andrés after he pulled out of his restaurant deal at Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C.

Chef José Andrés is scheduled to throw out the first pitch Sunday for Game 5 of the World Series if necessary, which is the same game President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend.

"I’m humbled by the invitation, and I realize is a big big big honor but I really hope that by Saturday night all of WASHINGTON will be celebrating that the @Nationals are the 2019 @MLB World Series Champions," Andrés tweeted Friday.

If there is a Game 5, and Trump is there, I predict he pulls a Pence and skedaddles at the first sign of opposition, like a foreign-born player not singing the national anthem lustily enough to suit Needy Amin.

And they would have to have the catcher stand halfway between the mound and home plate

He knows he'll get a negative feedback from the crowd.
And he'll want to keep that down to a minimum.

out to the pitcher's mound? Otherwise, he'd be huffing and puffing from the exertion.

Most of us figured he would chicken out from throwing the first pitch. FDR threw out the first pitch back in the 1933 and couldn't walk without help.
