no one through harder than Bob Gibson

Was a great competitor. Tough as nails. Frightening to batters.

****Why didn’t they show him throwing it to the catcher?****

I was wondering the same thing. He threw like a girl. HAHA. The camera was strategically placed so as to not show the pitch. I would not be surprise if that was a condition Obama had before hand so as to not embarrass him.

As an aside I noticed that when they ran the names of the 30 community all-stars one of them was Darrell Scott. He's the father of Rachael Scott who was killed in the Columbine shooting in 1999. He and wife ex-wife wrote a nice book in tribute to their daughter called Rachael's Tears.

I go back to the Rheingold beer days. I went to Shea at least once in every decade since the befinning. My first game at Shea was against the Cubs. Warren Spahn pitched for the Mets that day. Ron Swoboda was a rookie, and he hit a homer that day. The Mets won that day — a rare occurence!

’ Did Obama order the cameras not to show the pitch? “

This is unbelievable.
What happened to Barry’s pitch ?
They always show the first pitch.
What a joke.

For a Japanese guy, a zero team player. It's all about his stats.

There is no way that pitch went past 10 feet. I think the catcher was 10 feet away
