By now, you probably have a bucket list a mile long for what you want to do when it's finally safe. I will personally be posting up in my favorite dive bar, drinking many vodka sodas, and making everyone listen to The Boys Are Back In Town over and over. Dr. Anthony Fauci, however, has different post-pandemic dreams, and they include enjoying a beer and a hot dog at a baseball game.
Dr. Fauci appeared on KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO in Los Angeles over the weekend and discussed everything from vaccine distribution to how to open schools safely. But the end of the segment was what really caught our ear, as the hosts asked Dr. Fauci what events he's most looking forward to attending once the pandemic is over. He named things like going to a movie theater and seeing Hamilton on Broadway again ("AGAIN?" Lucky!!!).
Previously, radio hosts had asked Dr. Fauci what he's most looking forward to post-pandemic and he said that"rather than go home and cook, to just on the way home stop at a favorite small restaurant or a bar and sit there and have a beer and a hamburger or something and just relax." In this most-recent talk, Fauci acknowledged that yes, he still wants a burger and a beer, but he really would like a hot dog and beer at a baseball game, too.

"I also want to go to a ball game," Fauci said."That's where I want to have my frankfurter and my beer."
Fauci is a noted baseball fan who frequently sports Washington Nationals masks and even threw the first pitch out at a game last year. Given that spring training is happening now, it makes sense that's what he's looking forward to. Now the only question is...mustard or ketchup, Dr. Fauci?
