President Trump is right to attend a World Series game, but he is wrong to hedge on throwing out the first pitch. Sports is one of the last few bastions of bipartisanship in the nation’s capital. The president should embrace the opportunity.

Pledging on Thursday that he will attend Nationals Park for Sunday’s potential fifth game, Trump joked about why he might avoid throwing out the first pitch. It’s because the Secret Service bulletproof vest he’ll wear entails “a lot of heavy armor.” The implication: it will be a struggle to throw a strike.
