President Obama won't throw the ceremonial first pitch before the Washington Nationals' home opener Monday.
According to a White House aide, Obama will decline the team's invitation to throw the pitch before the game against the Philadelphia Phillies, brushing back a presidential tradition that dates to 1910.

Obama seems to break tradition, often.
What’s wrong with him?
0bama ought to call on his “good friend” Cincinnati mayor Mark Mallory to throw out the first pitch. (search YouTube for it if you never saw what a limp wristed “catcher” throws like)
OMG for sure.
Or maybe it’s because the ball is WHITE?
Just build a Denver-like Barackopolis Temple on the Mound and he will come.
ROTFLMAO!
I almost forgot about Kerry!
Would Hussein0 be the first American president to throw out a pitch as a lefty?
You’ll never see the Bamster limp-wristedly flailing a pigskin, so that one will remain uniquely Jon Carry.
I was just thinking the exact same thing, lol!!!!
It’s tough when you throw like a girl....
Exactlty!....The pantywaste never played baseball!
Hey! As an uncoordinated white guy, I take offense at that.
To this day I gag whenever I see any shots of Kerry and his epicine running mate trying to be “Kennedyesque” with the football. He and Obama very much resemble each other in their practiced phoniness.
It might be because of the security risk.
Just your typical, empty-vessel college town trash, molded like clay by his environment.
Don’t. I’m as white as they come. Its all in fun.
This clown president is a discrace to America! What’s wrong with throwing out the first pitch? It should be an honor to the great American pastime! Oh!...I get....Muslims don’t play ball. He would offend his freinds. I hate this idiot!
This is normal behavior for someone who is not
familiar with American customs, you know,.........a foreigner.
Hey, haven’t you heard that Hussein was a star pitcher for the Yankees for some 15 years before going into politics? Of course, those records are now sealed.
