Dr. Anthony Fauci has declared his wild first pitch that rung in the pandemic-delayed 2020 season a 'mishap.'
Next time, Dr. Anthony Fauci will need a measuring tape to make sure he's practicing at the proper distance.He explained on the ESPN Daily podcast:
"It certainly was a mishap on my part. I had been practicing for two days before at a walk-down that I thought was 60 feet, but was really, probably, about 45 feet," the Washington Nationals fan said. "And I was throwing and throwing and throwing, and I got it right. But only it was at 45 feet and I kind of hurt my arm because I haven’t thrown a baseball, literally, in decades.
Fauci figured he'd suck it up for one more toss. But when he walked out to the mound at Nationals Park and"I completely changed the form of my throw, and instead of just lobbing it overhand, which would have landed right in front of him, I wound up and threw it like a bullet, only it just went way off to the left," Fauci said. "So it was my bad all the way."
As Major League Baseball grapples with the fallout from the coronavirus outbreak among the Miami Marlins, it's actually a scenario the league consulted Fauci on prior to returning.
