President Barack Obama will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the team's opening day game April 5 against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Washington Nationals said Monday.

The team says Monday it will mark the 100th anniversary of the first time a president tossed an opening day first pitch — William Howard Taft did it on April 14, 1910.

It also will be the first time Obama attends a game at Nationals Park.

1. That's great!

And knowing Obama, I just bet he'll be practicing when he has a few minutes to spare in his busy schedule. He takes pride in being in good shape and in being a good athlete.
