President Barack Obama will throw out the first pitch at the 2009 Major League Baseball All-Star Game on Tuesday, July 14 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

President Obama will be the fourth U.S. President to throw out the first pitch at the Midsummer Classic joining John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford. President Obama will be the seventh U.S. President to attend the All-Star Game. The first U.S. President to attend an All-Star Game was Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937.

I hope he’s been working on his delivery, otherwise 60’6” looks a tad far.

The only question is “one hop or two?”. Ten bucks says he doesn’t throw from the mound like Bush

[taillightchaser]

I get your point, but, the game is not completely meaningless—it determines who gets home field advantage in the world series.

Later on we can chaulk this up as another “failed preemptive strike opportunity” by BO.

It wont go past home plate from the mound.Any takers?

[nascarnation]

they’re fitting the teleprompter with a robotic arm to do the actual throwing

[taillightchaser]

Good for you. I hope the obammy thugs don’t take your sign away from you on the way in.

Good job..... Report back to us.... And we expect you to be hoarse after that 10 minute boo session.

With those spindly arms, I would be surprised, if he does not give the ball to Michelle to pitch.

So he won't go to church because it might cause 500 or 1000 people to be inconvenienced by his gestapo, but it's okay to inconvenience 50,000 people going to a baseball game.

I hope they boo the pi$$ out of him, and more.

Baseball is Amweican. Do you think he will be there? He usually doesn’t do functions that are American. If he does; he hides them.

[ml/nj]

How's that bowling going? I haven't heard much about it anymore.

You're on! I could throw from the mound and I'm 60+. This guy's a young politician. He'll throw from the mound.

What he really wants is to toss up the initial jump ball at the NBA all-star game.
