The
White Sox have formally invited President
Obama to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before their season opener April 6 at
U.S. Cellular Field.
In a letter dated Jan. 21, the day after the inauguration, Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf asked the team's No. 1 fan to test his left arm before the White Sox play the Royals.
Obama has yet to respond but has plenty of time to make the final decision.
Presidents traditionally have thrown out the first pitch of the season for either of the "hometown" Washington or Baltimore teams.
