Barack Obama made his presidential pitching debut on Tuesday at the All-Star Game in St. Louis, but not before getting a little practice and a bit of advice.
"I'm telling him, ‘Follow through,'" said Willie Mays.
The 78-year-old Giants Hall-of-Famer traveled on Air Force One with Obama from Michigan to St. Louis, where the president threw out the first pitch.
"He's gonna do fine, I guarantee you. He'll be fine. I just want to make sure he follows through," said the Say Hey Kid.
