Dr. Anthony Fauci threw a wild first pitch for the ages a week ago to open the MLB season during a pandemic.
His pitch for the New York Yankees and Washington Nationals game missed the plate by a safe social-distancing measure and he delivered a joke about it the next morning.
Now, Fauci is giving a more detailed explanation of why his first pitch was so far off in an interview with Pablo Torre on the ESPN Daily podcast.
It comes down to “a mishap on my part,” the nation’s leading infectious disease expert said.
