William Taft started the tradition of presidents throwing a ceremonial first pitch. He did it on opening day (April 14) of 1910, throwing the first pitch to Walter Johnson. One of his predecessors, William McKinley, had thrown a ceremonial first pitch when he was Governor of Ohio, but not when he was president.

Feller was quoted as saying: "He's tied up in the shoulders and can't hit an inside pitch to save his neck. If he were a white man, I doubt if they would even consider him big league material, except perhaps as a bat boy." Ironically, both Feller and Robinson were elected to the baseball Hall of Fame in the same year, 1962.

The 17-year old Feller became the youngest player ever to play a regular season game.
Bob Feller (born November 3, 1918 in Van Meter, Iowa; died December 15, 2010 in Cleveland, Ohio) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the Cleveland Indians for 18 seasons between 1936 and 1941 and from 1945 to 1956 - a tenure interrupted by a four-year spell in the Navy. Feller was an eight-time All-Star, and a part of the Cleveland Indians' 1948 World Series winning team.
Feller, who died in 2010 at the age of 92, always denied being a racist, but his outspoken nature probably contributed to the tag. For instance, the flame-throwing pitcher was once asked by a reporter if he believed that Jackie Robinson would make it in the major leagues. His reply was no. "He's tied up in the shoulders and can't hit an inside pitch to save his neck," Feller said. "If he were a white man, I doubt if they would even consider him big league material, except perhaps as a bat boy." Of course, Robinson went on to have a stellar career with the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1947 to 1956. In 1962, he was one of two greats that year elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. The other was Bob Feller.
