The infectious disease expert on why he socially distanced the ball from the glove.
that Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, didn’t “want anyone to catch anything.”“Well, it certainly was a mishap on my part,” he told ESPN’s Pablo Torre, adding that he had been practicing at a distance he thought was 60 feet, the distance between the MLB mound and the plate. The actual distance was “probably” 45 feet, he said.
“I was throwing and throwing and throwing, and I got it right, but only it was at 45 feet, and I kind of hurt my arm because I haven’t thrown a baseball literally in decades,” Fauci said. “So as I was getting ready to go out on the mound, my arm was killing me, but I said, ‘Hell, I could suck it up and just throw it the way I had been practicing.’”
“When I got to the mound, I said, ‘Oh, my God. Sean Doolittle looked like he was 200 feet away.’ So what I did was I completely changed the form of my throw and instead of just throwing it, lobbing it overhand, which would’ve landed right in front of him, I wound up and threw it like a bullet, only it just went way off to the left,” the doctor said.
