---To Harry Caray, in the Wrigley Field broadcast booth, in the final months of his presidency . . . an occasion on which Mr. Reagan threw out the day's ceremonial first pitch and did a charming inning and a half of play-by-play, returning to his real roots as a Chicago Cubs broadcaster in the 1930s, for Iowa WHO. (In fact, a 1936 poll by The Sporting News named Mr. Reagan the fourth most popular baseball announcer)

"...occasion on which Mr. Reagan threw out the day's ceremonial first pitch and did a charming inning and a half of play-by-play..."
