TheBigHurt Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Throwing out the first pitch at the All-Star game wearing a Sox jacket. Awesome. And for me, a guy originally from St. Louis (a huge Cardinals fan), seeing this in St. Louis while Pujols is the guy to catch the ball... it's even more awesome. What's cooler than the President being a Sox fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nastymasty21 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 As a Sox fan we all know we dont get much respect nationally, but the leader of the free world throwing out the first pitch in a Sox jacket, on a national platform, is really awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 That was awesome to see him in his Sox jacket... not to mention he didn't make himself look bad on the first pitch!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without getting to political, his approval ratings are at an all time low. Really cool to see him represent us though. Also really cool Joe Buck referred to us as the "Sox" and not Boston.

sam785 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Great to see the President in a Sox Jacket. I figured he'd wear an all star jersey, that was great to see, Go Sox and Go AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When ever I mention I'm a sox fan people ask me how long Obama has been a fan. Obama has not exactly hid his team allegiance you know. Maybe they live under a rock in St Louis? I doubt they don't know he's a White Sox fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an all-star game in St. Louis. All the dignitaries on the field were wearing Cardinals jackets... except Obama. Fans didn't like it. I'm sure they were expecting him to 'respect' the home team by wearing something Cardinals related. He didn't and they booed. Don't read more into it than that. Nobody boos the president at events like this for political reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
