Anthony Fauci, the U.S.’s top virologist and key member of the White House coronavirus task force, threw out the first pitch Thursday night at Nationals Park, as the Washington Nationals and the New York Yankees kicked off Major League Baseball’s abbreviated season.
Washington, the defending World Series champions, announced Monday on Twitter that Fauci — a native New Yorker living in D.C. who has said he’s a fan of both the Yankees and Nationals — would be throwing out the first pitch of the season.

While Fauci is one the country’s foremost doctors, his pitch was anything but elite, falling well short and to the right of home plate.
