Fauci throws ceremonial first pitch at Mariners game
Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Seattle Mariners' home opener on Tuesday.

Fauci's pitch was high and outside, but it was still a strike. The crowd at T-Mobile Park gave Fauci a standing ovation for his effort.
Fauci's appearance at the Mariners' game was a sign that the country is slowly returning to normal after the COVID-19 pandemic. The Mariners were able to play in front of a full capacity crowd for the first time since 2019.
Fauci's pitch was also a reminder of the importance of public health. The COVID-19 pandemic is still a threat, and it is important to continue to take precautions to protect yourself and others.
