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.
Willie Mays and five other San Francisco Giants greats were scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Game 1 of the World Series. But Mays was ill, leaving it to Hall of Famers Monte Irvin, Orlando Cepeda, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal and Gaylord Perry to proceed without him.
