Every U.S. President since William Howard Taft in 1910 has thrown out the first pitch at least one Opening Day game. But Donald Trump declined to do so this year, citing allergies, or whatever excuse he came up with. One would think that our second-fattest president would have an affinity for the first-fattest, and want to get out there and hurl that horsehide. But no.
Now it becomes oh-so-clear. To do so, Trump would have had to get out there on the mound, and he would have been booed back to the Stone Age.
