Dr. Anthony Fauci was rewarded for being the most trusted voice in the country during the coronavirus pandemic, by being given the honor of throwing out the first pitch of the 2020 baseball season. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished.

Here’s where we’d normally crack a few jokes at Fauci’s expense, but we’re gonna cut the 79-year old a break considering everything he’s done for this country.
Plus, the video speaks for itself.
