"Because of my strong focus on the China Virus,
including scheduled meetings on Vaccines, our economy and much
else, I won't be able to be in New York to throw out the opening
pitch for the @Yankees on August 15th," he said on Twitter.
"We will make it later in the season!"
Trump, a native New Yorker who has yet to throw out a first
pitch while serving as president, said on Thursday he would
throw out the pitch after Yankees President Randy Levine invited
him to do so.
The Major League Baseball season kicked off last week with an
opening day that was postponed by nearly four months due to the
coronavirus pandemic.
