President Donald Trump is booed by the fans during Game 5 of the 2019 World Series.
President Donald Trump will stick with presidential tradition and attend the World Series, but he will not throw out the first pitch. He is also afraid he would look too fat with the bullet proof vest. When reporters asked him if he would throw out the pitch, like George W. Bush did in the Yankee Stadium in 2001, he said he wasn’t sure. “I don’t know,” he told reporters, according to the Associated Press.
“They’re going to have to dress me up in a lot of heavy armor. I’ll look too heavy. I don’t like that.” The Washington Nationals, who will decide the such matters, had already said that the president was never asked to throw out the ceremonial pitch, which will be thrown by Trump critic Jose Andres, a celebrity chef and humanitarian. The Associated Press also reports that the president will arrive after the first inning and leave before the last out in the fifth game to be held on Sunday to avoid disrupting the game for fans.

 President Donald Trump was booed loudly and met with a chant of “lock him up” Sunday night when he was announced as a special guest at World Series Game 5 at Nationals Park. The 45th U.S. president arrived during the first inning as the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals battled to take the series lead. Trump’s arrival was not shown or mentioned on the Fox broadcast. His presence was acknowledged by broadcaster Joe Buck just before the third inning. Before the fourth inning, however, Trump was greeted by the Nationals’ public address announcer and shown on the stadium’s video screen. The response from the crowd was to boo the president and chant “lock him up.” A presidential appearance at the World Series is nothing new, but in the age of social media and our currently divided political spectrum, a Trump visit wasn’t so simple as a celebrity coming to a game. It was as much a political event as it was a sports happening. That’s a point that was proven later in the game when an “Impeach Trump” banner was hung by fans in right field. It was quickly confiscated, according to reports from the scene. |
