He is getting some boos. :(

Let's hope he throws well though!

3. I don't think so...

I have the MLB package (die hard fan).

The reception is getting better! :)

[phantom power]

2. Wonder if there will be any Villager man-crushes if he makes a good pitch.

[tallahasseedem]

4. Oh no!!!

It was REALLY bad! LOL!

[Chipper Chat]

5. Looked like he was having fun.

He shook hands with the umpires too!

[tallahasseedem]

7. I loved how he put

on the White Sox hat, LOL!

6. Boos might just be kidding about the White Sox cap

Great wind up but that pitch was definitely a ball!

[tridim]

8. The fear of throwing the ball in the dirt has to be nerve racking.

At least the catcher caught it. :)

14. Yes! Err on the side of high, which he did. Throwing off a mound is weird and is why

so many folks throw it in the dirt.

9. I hope so.

After all, I remember when Bush was booed when he threw out the first pitch the last years he was in office. Let's hope that it is simply because Mr. Obama supports the White Sox and that the game was not hijacked by rabid Teabaggers. That would be horrible on opening day.

10. Once he...

got on field there was a really good reception. I was getting nervous because there were a lot of boos right before he came out, but it turned out well!

[political_Dem]

11. Oh good. I'd hate for that to happen. :(

Thanks for the update. I'm glad it turned out good for him. As we all know, enough has happened already! :D

[Captain Hilts]

16. You're a Phils fan, you - of all folks - know fans like to boo all politicos! nt

[tallahasseedem]

17. Um, hello?

We like to boo everyone! We're equal opportunity! ;)

[Captain Hilts]

18. Sorry, I mis-typed!

[Pirate Smile]

19. On Twitter, a reporter said they were showing previous 1st pitches and the crowd booed when they

showed Bush. Maybe the louder boos where when that was on the screen. :shrug:

[Captain Hilts]

13. They boo'ed before that, but all prezes get that. I just LOVED his putting the Sox cap on. nt

[Captain Hilts]

12. ALL politicians get boo'ed at ballgames. LOVED him putting on the SOX cap on the mound!

[Thrill]

21. You could barely hear any boos. Way Way more cheers

[Born_A_Truman]

15. LOL!! He needs to stick to basketball ...

But he looked like he was having a good time!!

[tomm2thumbs]

20. better boo'd as President, than cheered as leader of the minority party

bwahahahahahha!

22. At least it didnt bounce.
