President Barack Obama Baseball Game Attendance Log

Did you know that President Barack Obama would become the fourth President to throw the first pitch at an All-Star if he is able to do so during the 2009 All-Star Game? Those who came before him: John F. Kennedy (1962 All-Star Game), Richard Nixon (1970 All-Star Game) and Gerald Ford (1976 All-Star Game).

When President Barack Obama was still a U.S. Senator, he threw out the first pitch before the White Sox defeated the Angels 2-1 in Game 2 of the 2005 A.L.C.S.

The Class A Brooklyn Cyclones officially renamed themselves the Baracklyn Cyclones on June 23, 2009 as a tribute to President Obama.
