Obama's appearance was meant to commemorate the 100th anniversary of
William Howard Taft's first presidential pitch before a Washington
Senators-Philadelphia A's game in 1910. After jogging out to the mound
before the Nats-Phillies game with his head uncovered, Obama
approached the mound, pulled his familiar Chicago White Sox cap from
his glove and tugged it tight over his head. The crowd sounded
momentarily conflicted over the president's team choice, but still
cheered once Obama went into his windup. As you notice, Obama never
hesitates to rep for the love of his city
