[Solved] Who was the first sitting President to throw the pitch on opening day?

Trivia: Who was the first sitting President to throw the pitch on opening day?

Herbert Hoover
Theodore Roosevelt
William Howard Taft
Bill Clinton

The correct answer is William Howard Taft

So why is this answer correct? : President William Howard Taft didn’t intend to throw the first pitch at a baseball game; in fact, he hadn’t planned to even attend the Washington Senators opening game on April 14, 1910. But after a rough morning in the White House, Taft decided to treat himself. When the Senators’ manager suggested Taft throw the first pitch, the President was happy to oblige — and a national tradition was born.
