I think it is really good that baseball is opening. It looks like football is opening. It looks like sports are opening. It’s a tremendous thing psychologically for our country.”Trump then staged a photo op with former Yankees pitcher Mariano Rivera, reporters and a group of Little Leaguers on the White House South Lawn.Trump’s initial announcement drew criticism from Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York, who slammed the Yankees for inviting “hatred to your pitcher’s mound.”This browser does not support the Ad element.
