The president marked a 100-year tradition when he tossed the ceremonial first pitch at the Washington Nationals home opener against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday.

He received a loud ovation from the packed crowd, with a few boos scattered in. He sported khakis, a Nationals jacket and a cap from his favorite team, the Chicago White Sox. His pitch forced Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman to stand and lunge to haul it in.

"I was a little disappointed with the pitch," Obama said during a stint in booth during the Nationals' TV broadcast. "It was high and outside. I was intentionally walking the guy. Fortunately, Zimmerman has a tall reach."

The president suggested his accuracy would have improved with a longer outing.

"If I had a whole inning, I'm telling you, I would have cleaned up," he quipped.
