He can't control who's in the stands, the way he can at his "public" rallies. And every legitimate newscast in America would play the crowd BOOING as he walked out to the mound. That humiliation couldn't be attributed to "fake news!"

he was in high school. He doesn't want that lie exposed in the most spectacular of ways, accompanied by the inevitable cascades of booing!

What about all his stories about his great high school baseball playing days? I'm a woman and threw a ball better than that in 4th grade!

If you don't practice, you're going to do it like Obama and throw wide so if I were president, I would set up maybe 30 minutes a day practicing in the gym with an aide so I could consistently throw a strike because there's going to be booing no matter what. But at least when I got to the mound, I'd be thinking, "Jeer all you want, but here's healthcare for all, a strong economy, and one over the plate, motherfucker."
