Nationals invite Joe Biden to throw first pitch on opening day, something Donald Trump never did

The 2020 presidential election has been called and former vice president Joe Biden is set to move into the White House in January.

It didn’t take long for the local baseball team to come a-calling.

As Biden delivered his victory speech on Saturday night, the Washington Nationals posted an invitation for Biden to throw out the first pitch on opening day of the 2021 season.

Biden’s last pitch as an elected official came in 2009 when he threw the first pitch for the Baltimore Orioles on opening day while he was vice president.
