Obama attended, throwing the ceremonial first pitch to a sellout crowd of 46,760.
President Barack Obama did not bounce the ceremonial first pitch at Busch Stadium. Albert Pujols aided the toss with a midplate scoop, as Obama warmed up in Rose Garden practice and shared laughs with FOX broadcasters. Musial greeted him, and Obama noted enjoying the experience amid a White Sox jacket and a sellout crowd.
