President Donald Trump will not be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at a New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox game next month,The planned Aug. 15 appearance at Yankee Stadium would have been the first time during his presidency that Trump has thrown out a first pitch at a Major League Baseball game." as his reasons for opting out, but he said he will do so later in the season.

The president had revealed his plans at a news conference on Thursday, after which he joined a group of Little Leaguers and Baseball Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera on the White House lawn for a game of catch to celebrate the opening of the MLB season. Asked about throwing out a ceremonial first pitch at last year's World Series, Trump joked that MLB and the Secret Service would"have to dress me up in a lot of heavy armor. I’ll look too heavy."

Trump, who played baseball in high school, has performed first-pitch duties in the past, however, including at Fenway Park in 2006 – home of the Red Sox.

WHY ? ! ? He hasn't GOT any Balls ? ! ?

TRUMP now, Trump forever! Trump2020LandslideVictory 'Yes, we already WON!,...again But let's not stop now,.. use every nail for the JoeBiden coffin campaign!' One by one they fell, all that's left is a deadbeat who will soon be, admitted!

Haha!! Hes sooo busy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He is NOT WELCOME IN YANKEE STADIUM! Racist!!! Go Yankees !!!!!

What are you afraid. Your a joke moron, if Rivera thrown the ball any slower to you, my 1year old nephew could even catch it. You ain’t no baseball ⚾️ player before and especially now haha. You left NY and said bad things it so you are no real Yankees fan.

NO ONE sane or informed, expected for 1 minute that he would throw out that pitch. C’mon now. realDonaldTrump, the ultimate CowardInChief

Because players take the knee?

He can’t hold up a glass of water without tremors. He can’t pitch.

Yet he can constantly golf....

The reason he won't' be doing it at all is because he can't do it! He would lose his balance and fall over the minute he lifted one leg off the ground while winding up!

LIE

Of course he bailed! Baseball fans are not Academy Graduates. They are allowed to Boo!

Good riddens!

He wasnt even invited.

Or does he throw like a toddler ?

Maybe he could lay the ball on the tee and let someone hit it off that. Would match his obvious athletic skill level.

But he has time to play golf.

He's really meeting with Putin to plan out how they will win the election. Just like last time.

Oh no.... there won’t be any people or cameras there that is why he won’t do it.

I think there are games on weekends. Maybe he could stop by a park and toss a ball before heading to the golf course.

Why don’t you throw a ball with Barron. Bad Dad!

He scared AF! Lol

Lol

Naw....he waa scurred

Trump would make Fauci look like Nolan Ryan.

When my husband goes to bars he calls it “running errands.” 🤡

I think I just heard a sigh of relief from the Yankees 😂

Priorities nice! Wish Canada had a leader

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If the Yankees disinvited him, I will stop calling them Skankees.

IKR 👊🏻

Got_It 👊🏻

Cancel culture.

TOO SCARED. 😱🤡

Yeah, but we know the truth, eh realDonaldTrump.

Trump......Ten pounds of sh1t in a five pound bag.

His Fake ass excuse doesn't wash he's afraid of the Yankee Fans around the country

Who will wear the baseball uniform better? Trump or...

Nonsense. Has plenty of time. Guy is never away from the golf course. Couldn’t deal with players taking the knee and MLB becoming BLM on the pitching mound.

I’m shocked that he was invited.

From his golf course he's full of shit

When is Joe Biden throwing out a first pitch?

Why is this getting more press than his recent pharmaceutical success? Why does our media refuse to acknowledge his successes?

Trump realized the mound isn’t 10 feet from home plate🤓

That gets a

'We've got to make sure the rich get them first,' he said. 'I've already had mine.'

What ever he does they will find fault go Trump 2020

Don't bother rescheduling.

Well, there is always the prison league. So not a total waste of his time.

He realized his hands are too small.

I was about to stop being a Yankees fan....but where is the invite? Was he really invited? Where is the proof? Anyone?

But he had time to golf all weekend. C'mon people, nothing has changed but the rhetoric.

The season is only two months long. He somehow finds time to play golf three days a week.

He has more important shit to do than throw a first pitch.

So I guess no golf for awhile.
