Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said he discussed with Trump whether he'd like to throw out the ceremonial first pitch, but the president declined while citing the disruption that would cause fans getting to the ballpark.

Washington Nationals principal owner Mark Lerner told the Washington Post that Trump should be at the game, but he made clear that he did not invite Trump to throw out the first pitch, saying there were many other candidates that should be considered before Trump.

Jose Andrés, a prominent local restaurant owner and humanitarian, threw out the first pitch to a roaring, sustained ovation. He has a history with Trump, too, both in business and in politics.

Andrés has repeatedly opposed Trump's immigration policies and his administration's response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. Four years ago, he withdrew from plans to open a restaurant in the Trump International Hotel in Washington following Trump's controversial comments about Mexican immigrants during the presidential campaign. Legal action ensued and the dispute was settled in 2017.

7. Thank you for posting this sweet respite from the daily dreck we find ourselves in. But I must

admit, I burst into tears when Feran said to Bourdain: You're the first person who has understood this (at the end, his plans for the future.)

8. I still haven't finished reading A Cook's Tour of

his first TV show. His books are pretty damn good but I was reading it when he died. I start reading and my mind goes in a thousand directions. I can finally watch the reruns of his shows now and laugh, it's taken a year for the shock to wear off.

Jose Andre was on two No Reservations I think, or maybe it was The Layover (that was not on for long but it was good).

10. An SFGate link!

I don't even have to click on the link to know that bots and delusional, incessantly-lying trumpkins with usernames like "Honest Reporter" are screaming and smearing their poop on the walls of the comments. Ha ha!

the president declined while citing the disruption that would cause fans getting to the ballpark

Sure, bubbie. Not because you'd rupture something just lifting your hand over your head. Not because you didn't stand a snowball's chance of getting it anywhere close to the plate. And surely not because you were terrified to stick your neck wattle out into the open!

12. MSNBC just ran the footage of the giant boo hitting 100 decibels. It was clear and loud.

Wow! I love it!

13. Meanwhile, Chef Andres' awesome organization was also serving thousands of meals yesterday

to firefighters and evacuees in California, as well as others in need elsewhere.

14. "Oh I'd bring the 97 mph heat, but then MILLIONS of fans would jam the roads just to see ME ME ME"

“It’s in everyone’s interest that the American people not bask in the glow of my absolute awesomeness while I bring out my superior athletic skills right there on the pitcher’s mound.”

Could this buffoon get any more assholic? Yes, absolutely— there is NO bottom to it. None.
