Obama First Pitch Nationals vs Phillies (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

President Barack Obama threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Nationals home opener against the Philadelphia Phillies today in Washington D.C. He was wearing a Nationals windbreaker and Chicago White Sox hat -- a nod to his beloved hometown team.

The president was greeted with a mixture of boos and applause after emerging from the Nationals' dugout. His opening pitch turned out to be a floater that came in high and off the plate -- no bounce. His catcher was Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman.

Obama stayed for three innings. When he left the D.C. team was leading 1-0. The National League Champion Phillies eventually beat the Washington Nationals 11-1.
