President Obama throwing out the first pitch - predictions and reviews

After looking at the video on the Seattle Post-Intelligencer blog a few more times, I’m going to agree - he did catch the ball in the air, but just barely. (It’s a YouTube video filmed off someone’s TV, so it’s not the clearest.) Pujols appeared to be right over the plate. If he’d been in a normal catcher’s position I think it probably would’ve landed right on the plate or right in front of it.

From ESPN’s Bill Simmons’ twitter account:

Please don’t blame the Prez for throwing a lousy first pitch. He was wearing a bulletproof vest the size of Dustin Pedroia.
