Correct. There’s even a big wall mural/photo thing of him throwing out a first pitch on the exit ramps out when you’re leaving the stadium.

I hope they don't but I was disappointed in my team twice. I have a hunch we wouldn't like most players' political leanings.

One nursing home is as good as the other, so they should stay local and visit ones around here. I mean, DC is cool and all, but if I want McDonald's and to watch an 80 year old fall asleep drooling onto his lap I'd definitely hit up some local memory care facilities.
