Baller-in-Chief

Here is a “best of” collection of tweets from Twitter reacting to the Baller-in-Chief’s ceremonial first pitch to kick off the Major League Baseball All-Star Game last night:

DanWalshed Obama’s first pitch? Points for accuracy and delivery but a surprising lack of arm strength. Guess he should stick with basketball.

sxnoel Obama plays basketball and seems to be fairly athletic. Then why the hell does he look like a wimp throwing a baseball and bowling?

SherKro “A lot of arc on that pitch” (Obama’s). Good for basketball, not baseball.

teddyho Obama should stick to basketball, leave the pitching to Bush!

danibbler Obama proves one thing. Basketball players can’t play baseball.

rustad88 BARACK = BALLER (Basketball, Football, Soccer, and now Baseball)! #allstargame #Obama

Agustn @ChrisCuomo What do you think about Obama’s first pitch? Better in basketball?

angelblue01 Wishing #Obama could pitch better, but he’s a basketball player :P

MiaAyello RT @nytimes: Bats: Obama Throws a Wobbly First Pitch http://bit.ly/18ONYZ ~~oh yea!! Well he can beat your ass in a game of basketball!

Darryl_Maxwell Big ups to president obama for throwing out the first pitch even though basketball is his sport.

nancyhunt OK - Obama is better at basketball…it is what it is.

claudejohnson Was that President Obama’s very good impersonation of Red Sox legend Bill Lee’s famous “eephus pitch”? http://cli.gs/dN4js
