Trump gets seared as restaurateur José Andrés is set to throw out the first pitch of WS Game 5. Andrés canceled his restaurant at Trump Hotel DC after Trump's racist comments. Trump can't throw a baseball. It would never reach the plate & he'd fall over.

[ Trump won't be throwing out a first pitch. He can't ... he'd have to be driven out the pitchers mound on a golf cart. ]

The Nationals announced Friday that D.C. restaurateur and humanitarian José Andrés will throw out the first pitch ahead of World Series Game 5 on Sunday, should the series extend that long.

Andrés said in a tweet early Friday that he was “humbled” by the honor but hopes that the Nats — up two games to none — can wrap things up in Game 4 on Saturday night.

The Nats also announced that the first pitch before Game 4 will be thrown by a player from the team’s youth baseball academy, accompanied by stars Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg. Two members of the inaugural 2005 Nationals, Chad Cordero and Brian Schneider, will participate in Game 3's first pitch.

I’m humbled by the invitation, and I realize is a big big big honor but I really hope that by Saturday night all of WASHINGTON will be celebrating that the @Nationals are the 2019 @MLB World Series Champions...??????????????? t.co

Andrés has been one of culinary Washington’s most prominent names since 1993, when he became chef at Jaleo. Since then he has opened other outposts of the Spanish tapas eatery along with a host of other restaurants in the area. Andrés also received acclaim for his humanitarian efforts for founding World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit organization that provides meals in the wake of natural disasters.

On Thursday, President Trump announced that he planned to attend World Series Game 5. Andrés, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Spain, has been a longtime critic of the president’s views on immigrants and halted plans to open a restaurant at the Trump International Hotel in downtown Washington, spurring a $10 million breach-of-contract lawsuit filed by the Trump Organization that was settled in April 2017.
