The 2009 MLB All-Star Game was the 80th “Midsummer Classic”. The AL defeated the NL, 4-3, with the AL pitchers retiring 18 straight batters. While wearing a Chicago White Sox jacket, President of the United States Barack Obama threw the ceremonial first pitch to Albert Pujols, leading All-Star vote getter and Cardinals’ 1st baseman. Obama was the 4th President to throw the first pitch at an All-Star game joining Presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford. This Rawlings Official Allan H. Selig 2009 All-Star Game Ball with red and blue stitching is signed on the sweet spot in blue ballpoint pen by Barack Obama. An LOA from JSA, number Y61059 accompanies this item.
