9. I hope there's a ton of them, and their heads all explode.

Would make great TV.

11. Stan "the Man" Musial is going to present the baseball to Obama.

Wow. He is one of the all-time greats in ANY era. Got to be about 90.

Let's see the St. Louis fans boo HIM.

But now it's saying the inning isn't certain. :shrug:

14. Stee-Rike! And in a White Sox jacket, no less!

I think that really surprised the crowd, they were expecting a Cardinals jacket.

But a REAL fan wears his team's colors. I love it.

12. The crowd is 100% white, southern and suburban. May get interesting.

[MellowDem]

20. Nah...

More Midwestern than Southern.

13. Perfect scene for "Cool/Not Cool"

on Letterman

15. fist pump.....

after he made it over the plate...
crowd reaction mixed, but far more +++.

Loved Mr. Pres's ear to ear grin!

[bigwillq]

Very cool pre-game ceremony.
