Earlier on Tuesday, the President said that he planned to throw his first Presidential pitch high so it'd get to the plate without bouncing, but his control was lacking. He clearly didn't throw a strike like George W. Bush famously did during the 2001 World Series in New York just weeks after Sept. 11.

I like this quote too.

I will never, ever forget that blazing strike that pumped courage into the American people after 9/11. It was an amazing event!

Thanks for the ping, DrDeb!

(Obama throws like a girl. I KNEW it!)

Were the boos for GWB or Obama? I saw the “pitch” on Greta tonight, and she had more oomph behind her pitch than he did.

A real President - a real pitch....

I’d soooo love to hear that taped response and the cheers for W....it would have been the ONE reason to be there, for me.
