Trump Won't Throw Out First Pitch in the World Series So the Nats Call in Chef José Andrés.
Trump is afraid he will look fat out there on the mound what with all the body armor and stuff, and, I suspect he is also afraid of facing his bedrock primal fear, being isolated in a spotlight while waves of vocal disapproval wash over him.
Whatever the reason drumpf won’t take the mound Sunday, so the Washington D.C. nationals will instead go to the well-seasoned reliever Chef José Andrés to toss out the first pitch.
Confirmed by @Nationals: Trump not scheduled to throw out the first pitch if there's a Game 5 of the World Series. Instead, he'll watch @chefjoseandres — a critic who pulled out of Trump's DC hotel — throw the ceremonial pitch

…culinary innovator and founder of World Central Kitchen. In January 2019 Andrés opened a World Central Kitchen on Pennsylvania Ave, Washington D.C. to feed federal workers who were furloughed during the government shutdown." (h/t my @cnnsport colleagues)

For his part, Chef Andrés is hoping the Nats have it wrapped up in four…
I’m humbled by the invitation, and I realize is a big big big honor but I really hope that by Saturday night all of WASHINGTON will be celebrating that the @Nationals are the 2019 @MLB World Series Champions…🙏😘😘👨🍳⚾️🏆 https://t.co/V6EvP9L7Lr

My personal fantasy scenario has the Nobel Prize Committee rushing out a special award for best dissing of a Chief Executive by a Chef Executive and presenting it on the mound to Andrés.
That would make for a perfect game in my eyes.
