    Wow, Stan Musial sighting. I was gonna go and say what a boring, pretentious sack of crap this pre-game show has been, but this...this is good stuff.

    WTF? They couldn't get the camera into position to show Obama AND home plate?

    Was Obama being booed? I heard some cheers, but you could also hear the boos. Quite a mixed reaction.

    Not sure if it was because of politics or the Sox jacket.

    The President wore a White Sox jacket in St. Louis. Fucking awesome.

    Did the pitch bounce or not? Obama kept it real with the Sox jacket.

    Got it there in the air. Outside by a foot or three. Threw from the rubber.

    Loved seeing Musial.

    No idea on the bounce or if he got it there. How hard is it to show the first pitch?

    Maybe there was concern that he was going to bounce it so Fox did what it did. And if it was a good pitch, they'll show it when he's interviewed in the second inning.
