Fauci admitted that although he was embarrassed, he was humbled by the success of the event.
The Dr. Anthony Fauci card sold for almost ten dollars, and the back of the card described Fauci as an ardent Baseball lover and a fervent Washington National Fan.
According to a statement from the Washington Nationals regarding Opening Day, it was revealed that Fauci accepted the invitation to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the day.

While the image was a picture-perfect moment, Fauci admitted that although he was embarrassed, he was humbled by the success of the event.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, might be one busy man. However, he proves that he still has time to relax and enjoy a sporting activity.
