Dr. Anthony Fauci jokes about horrible first pitch at Yankees-Nationals game

No one will ever forget Dr. Anthony Fauci's horrendous first pitch attempt.

Fauci, who threw out the first pitch during the Washington Nationals' Opening Day matchup against the New York Yankees on Thursday, even joked about how horrible the pitch was. 

“It went in the wrong direction," Fauci told the Washington Post. "I joked around after and said I used to be a shortstop when I played ball as a young boy, and I thought I was supposed to throw to first base.”

Even though Fauci's first pitch wasn't great, Topps is honoring the coronavirus expert by creating a trading card dedicated to him. It'll be available for just 24 hours on the Topps website and is a limited-edition card. 

Dr. Fauci collectibles have been sold quickly in various forms since the COVID-19 pandemic began, from socks to bobbleheads.
