 WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki to throw first pitch at Nationals-Padres game

By Steven Nelson

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki will throw the opening pitch Sunday for a game between the Washington Nationals and the San Diego Padres.

The announcement came Friday afternoon ahead of the DC team’s “William & Mary Day” that honors the press secretary’s Virginia alma mater.

“On Sunday, July 18 against the San Diego Padres, the Nationals will host William & Mary Day,” the team said in a press release. “Ceremonial First Pitch will be thrown by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, a graduate of William & Mary.“

Press secretaries rarely receive the honor of throwing opening pitches, which are best-remembered for going to presidents and other senior officials.

Last year, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, embarrassed himself by badly missing home plate at Nationals Park. He then violated his own COVID-19 advice by watching the game without a mask while sitting sandwiched between two other people in a mostly empty stadium.

President Biden, 78, has not yet thrown an opening pitch while in office.

She'll circle back and throw to second base instead.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

This one is a bit more graceful.

White House officials will arrange this as soon as they figure out how to keep the presidents throwing arm from accompanying the ball on its trip to the vicinity of home plate.

I don't care about Psaki nor about baseball anymore, so I could care less.
