That was my first thought when looking at this extremely unscientific look at ceremonial first pitches. Apparently, you want either George W. Bush or Snoop Dogg for your fantasy celebrity/political baseball league; I am going to be charitable and not mock the people who did much, much worse.
Largely because, honestly? I’d probably be one of them. Baseball was never one of my core competencies, to put it mild.y.
I’ll bet Elena Kagan could beat them all.
I’m with you on not making fun of the bad first pitches. I can throw a football, but not a baseball. I don’t know why I couldn’t handle a round ball better than a, er, ellipsoid? …prolate spheroid?
Well, I’m going to point and laugh.
I freely admit that the only reason I wanted to be President when I was (much) younger, was so that I could throw out the first pitch.

I haven’t thrown a baseball much for the better part of two decades. But if I were to be throwing out the first pitch, I’d be practicing hard enough to do OK.
I’m wondering why this is newsworthy, seriously there are plenty of more important things happening in the world.
