Pelosi throws out first pitch during Nationals’ LGBTQ Pride event
Politico ^ | 6/6/2023 | Kelly Garrity

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took to the field Tuesday evening to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Washington Nationals’ “Night OUT” themed game, Major League Baseball’s longest-running LGBTQ celebration.

The former House speaker was picked for “her long-standing commitment to fighting for the rights and dignities of the LGBTQ+ community,” the team said in the announcement Monday.

The 83-year-old lawmaker took a few steps in from the mound on Tuesday evening to lob the ball to the catcher — the bald-eagle mascot dressed in a rainbow shirt for the event.

“I’ll always be a @SFGiants fan, but tonight my pitch was to celebrate the vibrancy of our LGBTQ+ communities with @TeamDCSports and @Nationals. Happy Pride!” Pelosi tweeted after the toss .

A portion of ticket sales will be donated to Team DC, an organization “that educates the LGBTQ community on the benefits of individual and team sports participation,” the team said in the announcement.

I see the crowd was about as large as one of Biden’s rallies.

I have never figured out why getting a rectal reaming is something to be proud of.

Haha! That’s what I keep asking! What, pray tell, is it that they’re so frickin’ proud of!? I’ve seen clips of their parades, and I’m thinking that cannot be it. So what is it?

That makes sense, she is after all married to a closet homosexual.

To bad the ball didn’t ricochet off the umpires mask and give Nancy a free dental adjustment.

Don’t know about being proud but it
probably is better than a colon exam.

... brings to mind one of my all-time favorite jokes ...

Bill & Hillary attend the season opener for the Nationals. They are seated right above the home field dugout.
Bill’s SS guy: Are you ready sir?
Bill: Yep.
SS guy: OK, they are ready for you.

Bill grabs Hillary by the shirt collar and her belt and heaves her over the fence down on to the roof of the dugout.

SS guy: Oh NO Sir ... you are supposed to throw the first pitch!

Bill: oops ...
