Definitely a WTF moment!
Let’s see the pitch!
PLAY BALL !!!!
Derek Jeter to George W. Bush: "Mr. President, in New York, we pitch from the mound. And don't bounce it, they'll boo you."
Just weeks after 9/11...
Game 3 of the World Series, not far from Ground Zero...
Over 50,000 fans in the stands, light bulbs going off like crazy...
a REAL MAN steps on the mound...
Thumbs up...
and throws a perfect STRIKE.
Still makes me want to weep, thinking about it and seeing the replays...how proud I was of our country then...
Memo to Governor Palin - start working on your "first pitch"! And all the policy stuff too!
Watch the first pitch video on MLB.com. The guy who drove the golf cart for Stan “The Man” did not vote for Obama. He barely looked at him and didn’t want to shake his hand.
