Millions of fans eagerly awaited the opening of the baseball season this year to take the focus off the DC drama. Nothing used to say “Baseball is back” like presidents throwing a fastball over home plate. What the happened, a shortage of balls?

The 2018 Major League Baseball season opened today with a full slate of games scheduled across our nation.

During the late 19th and 20th centuries, baseball was the most widely played sport in the United States of America, earning the title America’s pastime.

As most presidents have noted, Baseball is part of our common heritage. The story of baseball and the story of our nation are intertwined.
