If anyone can screw Stan Musial out of the national recognition he’s sought for so long–and be applauded for it–it’s America’s sitting president. Here’s Barack Obama’s ceremonial first pitch. Oh, but Stan the Man was allowed to deliver the ball to the President. Wow, what a treat. But then why the ridiculous camera angle for the pitch? One of the biggest questions heading into the game was, “Will Obama throw a strike?” We had to wait almost an hour to see for sure that, in fact, he did not. And for all that time I thought that his first pitch was too big to fail…

Typical liberal media bias from….FOX????
It bounced…everyone knows only white kids and dominicans can pitch….silly prez
It would have bounced twice had Pujols not been sitting on home plate.
FOX was too busy looking for a local marching band to be bothered with some meaningless first pitch.
*appoints first pitch czar.
Look, it counted on Streak for the Cash and that’s good enough for me. I’m not going back to 2. Not for you. Not for anybody.
And where’s the “Conspiracy!?” tag? Weak.
Maybe Glenn Back will weep about this too.
Great throw Mr President. No, no, it didn’t look like a girl. Well, of course those dirty Republicans are going to say that. OK, yeah, next time we’ll set up a hoop. Good thinking, sir.
Can you imagine if McCain had won, what his pitch would be? He’d throw the ol’ arthritis ball.
Say what you will about Dubya (and I’ve said a lot), that man threw a fucking bullet back in Aught One.
Yeah, Kid, in retrospect, maybe it’s not the best way to determine a president.
agreed @Kp….I say GW’s fastball had more on than Zito’s last year
He looked as uncomfortable throwing a baseball as he did bowling…and that’s saying something!
