Why didn’t they show him throwing it to the catcher?
Could you hear me booing from poolside on my patio about 12 miles from Busch Stadium?
My throat is raw.
Here’s MY take on why they didn’t show the pitch. If it fails horribly, no one sees it. If he actually reaches Pujols’ glove, the left will scream that the camera angles cheated everyone out of a pitch that was even better than W’s in NY back in 2001...
No lose proposition - something cheaters and cowards like to set themselves up for often.
I was wondering the same thing. He threw like a girl. HAHA. The camera was strategically placed so as to not show the pitch. I would not be surprise if that was a condition Obama had before hand so as to not embarrass him.
As an aside I noticed that when they ran the names of the 30 community all-stars one of them was Darrell Scott. He's the father of Rachael Scott who was killed in the Columbine shooting in 1999. He and wife ex-wife wrote a nice book in tribute to their daughter called Rachael's Tears.
