Dr. Anthony Fauci throws wild first pitch to start 2020 MLB season

By now, nearly every household on America knows who Dr. Anthony Fauci is.

For most of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Fauci has been front and center to lead President Trump’s White House Coronavirus Task Force. He’s been featured on nearly every media outlet in the nation over the last several months discussing the pandemic and answering questions.

Even better, live sports are on TV in the form of Major League Baseball. Prior to Opening Night Thursday night between the New York Yankees and Washington Nationals, the team from Washington D.C. tabbed Dr. Fauci to throw out the first pitch. Let’s just say it didn’t go so well.
