Obama first pitch for service

The President throws out the first pitch at the MLB All-Star Game, where activities highlighted United We Serve and the importance of community service.
From WhiteHouse.gov:
The President will be holding a news conference today at 12:30 in the White House Rose Garden. He will be discussing topics ranging from the energy legislation moving through Congress, to Iran, to health care and the economy. As always, watch it streamed at WhiteHouse.gov/live, or go to our “White House Live” Facebook application where you can watch and discuss it with others.
There is a joke about the Clintons at a baseball game. An official from the ballpark whispered something to a Secret Service agent, who whispered something to Bill. Bill picked up Hillary, carried her down to the edge of the field, and tossed her out into the diamond.
The Secret Service agent said, “Mr. President, they said that they wanted you to throw out the first PITCH.”
