NEW YORK—Moving in formation across the first-base line as terrified players scrambled into the dugout, federal troops reportedly tear-gassed the New York Yankees off the field Friday so President Donald Trump could throw out the first pitch before their opening home game. Sources confirmed that minutes before their contest against the Boston Red Sox was scheduled to begin, dozens of federal troops rushed onto the field and set upon the Yankees starters, pushing them into foul territory with riot shields and beating several of them—including Brett Gardner, Gio Urshela, and Gleyber Torres—with batons. Yankees players and coaches were heard to shout that they had no idea what was happening until they noticed a golf cart emerge from the bullpen with the president, who proceeded to stand on the mound and thank everyone for coming. As the tear gas near the dugout dissipated, federal agents in full riot gear could be seen placing zip cuffs on the Yankees’ relievers and attempting to confiscate cameras from the TV crew filming the game. At press time, team sources had confirmed they had been unaware of the president’s planned attendance, while Trump posed for pictures holding a baseball before dropping it on the mound and walking away.

laxietoo Sad that I did a double take, because anything can be true when it comes to this administration.

AndrewJKnecht Babylon bee is funnier

Tonypapa9 Legit!

Why? To whom does he throw it? Secret Service? Who's on first?

JoanieReb The fact that some don’t realize it’s satire is exactly what’s wrong with our current President.

SteveKerr FreeHongKong

SteveKerr SteveKerr un RT it’s the Onion

SteveKerr What? This is sportsmanship? The repercussions from all quarters will be strong and rip 45. He has done more harm to his image and his campaign than his advisors and he imagined.

MMFlint Did he hold the ball upside down?

ChrisCuomo exposed you, just like good lil Marxists do!! Seems your 10 viewers must be as brain dead as you to believe any of it. ..4/4

ChrisCuomo doesn't fall far from the rotten tree here.. Like him you're malpractice is putting your family in danger with your COVID 19 debacle & giving all of them YOUR DISEASE because you chose to 'BREAK THE RULES' OF QUARANTINE. And when 'found out' you bashed the the person who ..3/4

ChrisCuomo handling COVID 19 SO WELL..lol!! This imbecile DIRECTED Nursing Homes to take ppl infected w/Covid 19 even when they had NO manner in which to handle them nor treat them. So, hes responsible for thousands of deaths in NYC due to his malpractice as Governor. A rotten apple ..2

Matt_Billips 😂😂😂

KatalinichKaren Please tell me that’s not true

Thankfully this isn't happening as it would have been a lot of work moving the pitcher's mound to little league distance so he'd have a chance to reach home.

Bahahaha.. this is hilarious

jeffjarvis It’s sad really that whatever throws at us doesn’t even seem farcical anymore....when did life stop being funny?

ChrisCuomo OMG! He’s such a brat kid. He wanted what Dr. Fauci had out of the admiration and credibility he has before the country.

🤣😂😂😂🤣

The scary part is: people don’t know the difference betwixt satire and actual news. A la Babylon Bee.

UGroundbreakers

New headline- Trump tear gassed terrorist so normal people can live their lives.

MMFlint Federal agents are Trumps little Bitches.

SmackeyCracks BRUTAL HONESTY😆

I miss the days when one could immeduately know that this is an Onion article. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be surprising if that actually happened.

debmell I expected more of you. The hate never ends, 🤦🏻‍♀️😢

Must have been fan appreciation night....

MMFlint 'Trump is seen winding up to throw the pitch and his arm disappears in a cloud of smoke. The catcher emerges from the smoke with the ball. Trump declares in subsequent interviews about his 'perfect strike', the greatest throw of any president EVER!

Lol

MMFlint Hey did you see that picture that you're in with all the other pedophiles

WE WANT A PITCHER! NOT A BELLY ITCHER!

😃

eyemagistus What’s so scary is that some will think this is real given this administration’s behavior

eyemagistus 😂

ChrisCuomo Fake news! 😂😂

billengle34 Gotta love The Onion!

Arrest those Yankees!

Need to get the Yankees off the field? Just send Jose Altuve out there.

looks Photoshopped

Trump wants to throw a pitch, let's go all Gadafi on the field.

MMFlint Owners of $1500 Corporate boxes behind home plate, sparsely used during the regular season, are demanding the wait and service staff serving drinks & gourmet food in the ball park, provide the same services, where they fled to to their homes in the Hamptons.

MMFlint Honestly, I thought this was real before I looked to see that it was The Onion. how sad is it that for a split second I just assumed that this was true because of what a retched depraved human being the Covidiot is.

MMFlint stephaniek861 🤣

csd Hahahahaha

MMFlint

MMFlint 🤣🤣🤣

MMFlint Hey don’t give him any ideas guys.

😂

Not really out of the ballpark this could happen

🤣🤣🤣🤣

You guys.....

You joke, but we're talking about a guy who delayed pandemic release funds because he wanted his name on the accompanying letter. He would totally gas a baseball field if it meant he could throw the first pitch.

Ok, is it really happened?

ChrisCuomo Chris don't eat the onion man....

JoshMankiewicz NYC COPS TEAR GAS THE YANKEES (And it's ABOUT time) ...

It must be frustrating to work at The Onion and have 75% of your planned Trump headlines actually happen before you can use them. And for the ones you do use to be widely believed no matter how outrageous, because nothing is impossible anymore.

For 3 seconds I was like wtf lolz then realized it’s too crazy and I need to check the source... The Onion... So close, you almost had me!

Lies and falsehoods. Fake news strikes again.

🤣🤣

LOL

We want fake stories not predictions

Popehat The tear gas and terrorism of the team is bad enough, but the arrogance of dropping the ball on the mound and walking off ...WTF? The BLM mob has long deemed baseball.yoo white. Stadium data doesn't disappoint that analysis, but did POTUS just play to such a mob?

JudgeOmar yankees

jacoker2 I know BrentTerhune was in the front row lmao

The irony is this could totally happen.TrumpThreatensAmerica

Kahuna_2010 I liked your alfresco dining along the Hollywood Freeway better. 😆

Popehat I feel bad for you guys. Every headline I read lately sounds like something you made up. But it’s real. Maybe start spoofing the flyers we all seem to be getting more of? iDK?

NegativeBot

Popehat You had me for about 5-seconds onion.

BradleyWhitford 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Popehat This is totally plausible... Going to have to step it up to compete with realDonaldTrump

Moonalice You got me to laugh out loud. Great job! That’s not easy when The Onion has to compete with The NY Times for outlandish news.

This can't be true! Why? Was Trump afraid they'd see how bad a pitch he had? lol

The Yankees think they’re above the law IDontThankSo

Doc_Shades

talk2yourboy

This might be your best work yet

😂😂😂

it's just so... *almost* believable at this point

ChrisCuomo 😂😂😂

WirthTM DavidHursey johnpeter33

This is not satire though.

First good laugh of the day 👏👏❤️❤️

BradleyWhitford Lmao Make this happen

No need. A bunch of those turds are his supporters.

ChrisCuomo Think ProjectLincoln would like that for ImpotusAmericanus . 'From the smoke it emerged to drop it's egg'.

BradleyWhitford That’s funny

bibliophile68 They're doing that thing again where I can't tell if they're serious or not... 🙃

JJohnsonLaw This was the laugh I needed today

ChrisCuomo 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂

You guys are on a roll!

😳 it could happen!

strobist Even the Yankees don’t deserve that.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

ChrisCuomo So FUNNY!!!

Normally fun. Not so much anymore.

After a double hopper to the plate, Trump proclaimed himself the king of pitching and that no one else can throw a pitch like him. White House official immediately corrected the President's statement saying no one could pitch a fit like him.

ChrisCuomo FAKE

Eh it was too good not to use.

ChrisCuomo Is this true?

Lol

i wonder if his tiny hands can even grip a baseball

“Trump posed for pictures holding a baseball before dropping it on the mound and walking away.”

ChrisCuomo Joke, right?

Oh that’s Gold 😂

ChrisCuomo Get them stupid protesters out of the way for our president. 🇺🇸

3L3V3NTH The actual article is hilarious

KidCoheed ahahahahahahahahahaha

It's not a war crime because it isn't a game between interleague play.

If the Yankees were being peaceful then why did they bring bats to the field? Our federal troops are just keeping law and order.

“The President fired a 98 mph cutter that many are calling the greatest pitch ever thrown” - Press Secretary

wilmingtonfilm Hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha lmfao

simon_schama Fake News: He never ordered federal Troops to do it. Trump did it himself.

That would be awesome!

You joke, but this would be the only thing that would get a huge section of America to actually care.

We need to do this in Florida.

😂😂😂

ChrisCuomo Is thick for real?

Friday night level tweet. 😷

CardinalHistory LOL You guys are having to work harder since Trump got elected. His whole administration has been an Onion article.

Thank you! Belly laughing here. That's great!

Also the Feds will use the tear gas as cover to hide Trump’s girly pitch ⚾️👧🏼

This is freakin’ gold. 14k
