Photos: Why Donald Trump Passed Up On Throwing Out The First Pitch
We learned yesterday that Donald Trump has declined an invitation to throw out the first pitch for the Washington Nationals baseball team on opening day.
Donald Trump often refers to himself as a world-class athlete so it’s a bit surprising that he decided to break with presidential precedent and opt not to throw out the first pitch.
Which leaves us with the key question, why did Trump pass up the opportunity to throw out the first pitch?
Option 1: He was worried his tiny hands couldn’t properly grip the ball.
Option 2: This is what Donald Trump looks like when he throw a baseball.
Based on these photos it was probably a pretty savvy decision on Trump’s part to decline the offer to throw out the first pitch.
