On ESPN, I just watched Kerry walk out on the field at Fenway Park and throw the first pitch. There was no cheering at all. The crowd was just murmuring. You couldn't tell if they were booing or moaning. He threw the ball overhand (like a girlie man), to a decorated veteran from Mass., who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The soldier was kneeling over home plate. Kerry threw the ball and couldn't even get it to the guy's glove. The ball hit the ground in front of the soldier and bounced up and off to the side. He couldn't even manage to throw a decent pitch so the kid could catch it. He immediately walked off the field, shook hands with the soldier and looked to his Secret Service to tell him which way to go. Nobody said a word, no cheering, nothing.
I heard on Fox that Kerry had made a quick change of plans, and had flown to Boston to see the game and have his photo op. He brought John Glenn with him. Frankly, I think he wasted his time (not to mention jet fuel) trying to make a few political points. It didn't work.
Yankees lead 1-0, first inning.
