St. Louis is a great baseball town.
I love the new stadium. (I actually saw it in person last Thanksgiving when we were up in St. Louis!)
It is one of the best downtown facilities in the country.
I loved the pre-game show. I generally do! I love all of that history stuff.
Wasn't it great to see Stan Musial? Bob Gibson? Lou Brock?
The game was very crisp. The AL bullpen shut down the NL hitters. Rivera was unhittable! The NL did not a chance once the AL rolled out all of those closers down the stretch.
Beyond all of that, who was that man throwing the first pitch?
Has BO ever thrown a baseball?
This is how POLITICO reported Obama's pitch:
"President Obama threw out the first pitch at Major League Baseball's All-Star Game Tuesday evening -- and the ball fell short of the plate.
Albert Pujols did POTUS a favor and scooped up the ball so it didn't hit the ground, but the president looked disappointed.
Lots of cheers -- and audible boos -- from the stands as the sports fan-in-chief took the mound."
Please check out pitching styles, Bush vs Obama.
Here is the bottom line: One of these two guys has never thrown a baseball.
It must be the lefty!
Last, but not least, where was Ken Griffey? What about Randy Johnson?
Griffey and Johnson are Hall of Fame bound. They should have been in St. Louis!
