Yesterday, at the major league all star game President Obama threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Now politically this doesn’t matter much but for a president who has carefully crafted his image, especially as a sports enthusiast, it’s worth noting that President Obama is not much of a baseball player. He pushed the ball rather than throwing it like a pitcher. It was a softball style throw except that it was overhand. All of the news media pointed out that Obama made it over the plate. But if you watch this video from MLB.com you will see that the first baseman Albert Pujols caught the ball in front of home plate and that it almost didn’t make it to his glove.
George Bush when he threw out the first pitch in a World Series game after 9/11 threw a perfect strike. I did hear on the radio this morning that Obama was at a disadvantage because baseball is a sport mostly played by American youth.
