Donald Trump reportedly took some liberties with his announcement to throw out a pitch at a Yankees-Red Sox game.
As Dr. Anthony Fauci prepared to throw out the first pitch of MLB’s season, President Donald Trump broke some baseball news of his own.
It turns out that announcement was news to the Yankees, according to a New York Times report published Monday. “There was one problem: Mr. Trump had not actually been invited on that day by the Yankees, according to one person with knowledge of Mr. Trump’s schedule. His announcement surprised both Yankees officials and the White House staff.”
“Randy Levine, he’s a great friend of mine from the Yankees,” Trump said on Thursday, taking a break from discussing our national and global health crisis. “He asked me to throw out the first pitch. And I think I’m doing that on Aug. 15 at Yankees Stadium.” Trump ‘annoyed’ by Fauci pitch plansAbout 90 minutes later, Fauci tossed out the ill-fated first pitch that landed short and left of home plate to open the MLB season. Fauci — not Trump — had been invited to throw the pitch that also served as a celebration of the Washington Nationals as they opened their World Series title defense in the nation’s capital.
