President Trump’s not fit for pinstripes, according to Mayor Bill de Blasio.

The mayor slammed the New York Yankees for inviting “hatred to your pitcher’s mound” by allowing President Trump to throw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium next month.

“After CONDEMNING racism, the next step isn’t inviting it to your pitcher’s mound,” de Blasio tweeted Saturday.

“To the execs that have aligned with hatred, you are on the wrong side of history and morality,” he added.

Let's go Mets!

1. I thought Trump decided he was too busy golfing... I mean, presidenting

to do the first pitch?

3. says he's roo busy with the virus - not sure if that means spreading it

or trying to stop it.

Based on performance I would guess he is too busy spreading it.

5. Noted

2. Yeah, I lost a lot of respect for the Yankees, especially since my home team, the Cardinals have ...

played them for the world series on occasion. I hope that they burned the ball, it's probably contaminated w/ the CV.

4. We can't allow hatred on the pitcher's mound.

Just ask John Rocker, Curtsy Schilling, Josh Hader...

6. Already chickened out, and baseball is iffy

Ha! He should have waited to back out. Could have saved face if they end up canceling the season.

8. You guys are concentrating on the wrong thing, here....

I'd pay Money to see that bloated fuck throw a baseball.
Fauci looked exactly like a nerd should throwing the other day. He IS a nerd...that's why we love him.

trump...? Throwing a baseball?

Jabba the Hut would look graceful compared to that asshole.

[Me.]

9. I Read He Threw The Ball Like That Because...

It's his mission to see that no one catches anything...

10. He played baseball in college IIRC

Not that he's exercised since then, but still.

11. Maybe he could send

Navarro in his place so we can all make fun of his girly throwing.

12. "Pin stripes"? No.

"Prison Stripes"? Definitely.
