Here's a different take on what happened:

Nats owner says Trump has 'every right' to come to World Series game Sunday
The Hill, Oct 26, 2019

[...]

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said the league spoke with Trump about throwing out a first pitch but that Trump declined, citing concerns about causing delays for fans entering the stadium.

“We actually had a conversation with him about first pitches,” Manfred told the Post. “His view was that in order to make the fan experience as positive as possible, he would arrive at Game 5 sometime after the game began so it wouldn’t interfere with fans getting into the stadium. Quite frankly, we were very grateful for that.”

Personally, I'd wish he stay away.

Only way I'd do it is if those 50,000 fans were Republicans.   

It will be a helluva bellwether though.    :laugh:
