A long tradition invites presidents to throw out the first pitch at MLB ball games, but President Trump declined this year. His name still managed to make an appearance on Monday—just likely not how he’d expect.
Protesters on Monday hung a sign that read “Impeach Trump #resist” during the Nationals opening game in Washington, D.C.

The stunt was pulled by the “Americans Take Action” group, which was also responsible for pulling a prank at the Conservative Political Action Conference, handing out Russian flags with Trump’s name on it.

As of this writing, Trump has yet to address the prank.
