President Trump said Thursday he'll be throwing the first pitch at a Red Sox-Yankees game this summer.

Trump said Yankees president Randy Levine, "a great friend of mine," invited him to throw the first pitch at Yankee Stadium. Trump said he's aiming for Aug. 15, when the Sox visit the Bronx.

On Thursday night, Dr. Anthony Fauci threw the MLB season opener's first pitch in Washington, D.C. It was socially distanced from the plate, to say the least.
