Downing Street Nervous About Sunak Throwing First Pitch at Nats Game: Report
Downing Street officials are getting the jitters about the prospect of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak throwing the ceremonial first pitch at Nationals Park on Wednesday evening, according to a report.

No final decision has been taken.
