Report: Trump in talks to throw out 1st pitch at Nationals' Opening Day

Opening Day at Nationals Park could become must-see TV.

United States President Donald Trump is reportedly in talks to throw out the first pitch prior to the Washington Nationals-Miami Marlins game April 3, according to Politico.

Trump also might join the MASN broadcast for the first inning.

The Nationals declined to comment when asked, according to Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post.

There's a long-standing history of the President throwing out the first pitch, dating back to William Taft in 1910. Former President Barack Obama threw out the first pitch at the 2009 All-Star Game, and the following year at the Nationals' opener.

Last month, Baltimore Orioles vice president John Angelos said that he wouldn't want Trump throwing out the first pitch for his club due to previous comments Trump made about immigrants and women.

"My personal opinion, I think it’s incumbent upon any individual who leads a country to step away from those type of statements, to apologize for those statements, and turn the page and then to move forward in embracing their community," Angelos told the B-more Opinionated Podcast. "Until that happens, it wouldn’t be my preference to have the President come throw a pitch."
