With today being President's Day, I thought I'd commemorate the occasion by putting a baseball spin onto things, and covering an abbreviated history of United States Presidents who have thrown out a first pitch at a Major League Baseball game.
The inaugural presidential first pitch came back on April 14, 1910, when William Howard Taft (seen above) threw out the first pitch to Walter Johnson, on Opening Day for the Washington Senators, at National Park.
GFBB Note: "If Obama can schedule out a World Series first pitch, he will join Franklin Roosevelt as the only other president to have ever thrown out an Opening Day, All-Star game and World Series first pitch.
If I were Obama, I’d figure out a way to make it happen." Courtesy ~ "The Unbiased MLB Fan"
Definitely good stuff. I can’t believe the baseball season is almost upon us!
