The Washington Nationals have invited President-elect Joe Biden to throw out the ceremonial first ball on Opening Day next season, when Washington is set to host the New York Mets on April 1.T

The tradition of presidents throwing out the first pitch in Washington began in 1910 with President William Howard Taft, and since then, every sitting president except President Trump has thrown out a first pitch when Washington had an MLB franchise.
