Barack Obama: As a Kid with His Baseball Bat
Do you remember which Chicago club President Barack Obama favors? In interview with Stuart Scott last year, the then-candidate gave the answer. The White Sox. He even got to throw out the first pitch at their season opener this year.
But Obama has been a baseball fan since long before he moved to Chicago…the Tribune found a great childhood photo of him in Hawaii taking an early swing. The bat looks a little big for him… maybe he should have taken our advice about youth bats.
Obama is a lefty now, but from the follow-through, it looks like he may have been a righty in his youth. We’ll let that slide.
