Dr. Fauci To Throw Out First Pitch At Nationals Game Thursday
(Washington, DC) — Dr. Anthony Fauci will throw out the ceremonial first pitch later this week for his favorite team. The Washington Nationals say the nation’s top infectious disease expert will help kick off the season on Thursday. Fauci made his allegiance known to the world last month when he wore a Nationals face covering during an appearance on Capitol Hill. The team praised Fauci in a statement, saying he “has been a true champion for our country during the COVID-19 pandemic and throughout his distinguished career.” The defending World Series champions will open the season against the New York Yankees.
