Thanks for that

Take note: His pitching is indicative of his Governance ...... well intentioned ... but clearly missing the mark.

The worst politician throwing a pitch at a baseball game that I've seen is W. Bush's attempt at Camden Yards in Baltimore. I believe it was either his first year or the second of his first term. He couldn't even throw it straight. I guess we shouldn't expect much from a former cheerleader

Thanks for that

that pitched ball had enough altitude ... it suffered from coriolis drift

W. Bush had some really pretty good first pitches (Yankee stadium right after 9/11), and some really horrible ones. So far, Obama has been pretty bad at it. Clinton was bad, so was Bush Sr. and Reagan.

It's tough to throw anything overhand wearing a flak jacket, and having an over forty rotator cup. But GWB has found a way, almost throwing a slider.

Bill, that was no slider. That was an old man throwing a ball with little velocity, and gravity taking over. It's not like Nolan Ryan who in his mid 60's can still nearly throw a 90 mph fastball.

He threw 68mph the other night for the first pitch to Pudge.

I didn't see that. I was referencing a ESPN segment he did like 3 years ago where he was throwing. He topped out at 85 or so I think.

Need I remind you Bush was like in the 1 percentile of fitness in his age category.
