The 2020 Major League Baseball season officially got underway on Thursday night and fans got treated to a juicy opening game featuring the New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals.

Ahead of the game, Dr. Anthony Fauci helped get the season started by throwing out the ceremonial first pitch, and it didn’t seem to go as he had planned.

Dr. Fauci’s opening pitch didn’t exactly go as he had planned, but the special guests are never really expected to throw a perfect strike.
 

 

Dr. Anthony Fauci helps us get the 2020 season underway. We are grateful to him and all the courageous frontline workers and healthcare heroes who continue to keep us safe and made our return possible.
