Amazing on two fronts - that Derek Jeter basically told The President of the United States that he had to put his big boy pants on and throw from the pitcher's rubber and that President Bush took up the challenge and put one over the dish.

Great stuff!

Kevin and guys,

In my time, I've seen a lot Presidents throw the 1st pitch in World Series games.

The first Prez I saw was Harry Truman in 1950. But, I was very young and I don't remember if it was in a World Series, or Opening Day at Griffith Stadium in Washington.
But, I recall that Truman threw out two balls.....a Lefty throw and a Righty throw.

I think Ronald Reagan was the first Prez to throw the ball in from the rubber on the mound. And, he threw a "strike".
