I’d take Barack Obama in a pickup basketball game, based on his shoot-around with Clark Kellogg to hype the Final Four. But I’d pass on him if choosing sides in a pickup baseball game, based on his high-and-wide ceremonial first pitch at the Washington Nationals’ opener Monday. At least he got it to the plate.
More evidence that basketball and football have better claims than baseball on being the national pastime. Unless you are white and live in the suburbs or small towns, that is.
