The 2020 MLB season kicked off Thursday night with the defending World Series champion Washington Nationals hosting the New York Yankees.
There was a special moment before the game when Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is a big Nationals fans, threw out the first pitch.
How’d it go for the hero who has been leading the battle against the coronavirus the past five months and giving us all hope while he deals with such difficult circumstances each day on the job?
Not great.
Fauci had spent time before this moment by working on his arm while playing catch with his wife during brief breaks from the job. But maybe this big stage and moment got to him:
Dr. Fauci has had much more important things to work on than just throwing a baseball in an empty stadium and I’m guessing he can laugh off this first pitch as he seems to be a good human being who can laugh at himself.
No matter how bad that was, he’s the man and we wish him the best as he continues to do what’s best for our nation.
