First National Pitch In Step with History
A lot of history got behind President Bush as he opened the Nationals first home game.
The ceremonial first pitch came 95 years to the day that President William Howard Taft attended a Senators' game and started the tradition.
President Bush followed Taft's example by tossing out the ball to end D.C.'s long baseball drought.
A frenzy of camera flashes, a lot of cheers and some boos greeted the president when he emerged from the dugout in a red Nationals jacket. He threw a high pitch toward home plate that was neatly snagged by Nationals catcher Brian Schneider.
Even the ball he used had historical significance.
Joe Grzenda, who was the last pitcher in the Senators' final home game in 1971, provided the ball he used in that final game.
