Donald Trump's speech this afternoon was relatively lucid. He stayed on the subject, and he even used a series of facts to prove his point, namely that Mariano Rivera was the greatest baseball pitcher of all time. It was not quite diplomacy, but this 15-minute baseball speech could have been the least embarrassing point of Trump's presidency. What's strange is when he dropped Ryan Klesko, the "big, powerful guy".
Klesko arrived just as Trump was describing the fourth game of the 1999 World Series, when Rivera beat the Braves baseball bat three times. Please watch this Trump geeking clip on a beefy boy.
Ryan Klesko has played 16 seasons in the majors, totaling 278 homeruns and an average of .500 for his career. Trump is right: he's a big, strong and powerful guy. He knew him well … as a player. It hurts to say it, but today, Donald Trump has remembered one guy.
In addition to impromptu appreciation of Klesko, the other strange moment of the afternoon was the duo of Trump and Rivera who were heading to "Enter Sandman".
Trump begins by telling that Mariano Rivera was dubbed "the sandman" because he had asleep pasta, but Rivera has this nickname because of his music input. He did not even choose the song. In fact, when Rivera started talking about it, the New York Daily News noted that David Wells would probably still be the Yankees' most frequent pitcher of Metallica fans. (Wells enjoyed playing with Metallica and similar bands before his debut.)
So, you know, Trump has something wrong with it. A first, I'm sure!
