Hitting the first pitch? Yes that's probably a record. The record for the most home runs in a row is 4, but they weren't all first-pitch swings.
William Howard Taft was the first President to do the honors when he threw a ball from his seat in the stands to the Washington Senator's opening day pitcher, Walter Johnson, on April 14, 1910.
The Cincinnati Red Stockings were the first professional baseball club, formed in 1869. For a period in the 1950's they were known as the Cincinnati Redlegs, but then settled on Cincinnati Reds. To pay respect to heritage, for many years the first pitch of a season was always thrown at Cincinnati, always a home game for the Reds. Opening Day is still held every year in Cincinnati, and although the American League has started earlier on a few occasions the first pitch in the National League is still thrown on Opening Day in Cincinnati.
