Presidents first pitch

[Fanatical Meat]

To open the baseball season. Our last 3 Presidents have been pretty athletic except Bill but in the early days he wasn't a mess.
Which of our current realistic candidates will be the best?
I say either Hillary because nobody will expect a good throw from her & she could do a pretty poor toss but it won't look funny.
I'd also say Rubio would do well but he's dropped out.
I'd like to think Cruz would do well but I believe he's lived a comfortable & studious life.
Bernie would be a mess but he'd be funny about it
I see Trump either not doing it because he fears being bad at it or I could see him practicing for weeks in advance & being pretty good at it but his result will be either real good or not done.
In the unlikely event its Ryan I bet he'd rival the epic George W throw.

Lets have fun with this what are your thoughts?

**for the record here is George W. Not the best President but definitely the best first pitch. From the mound & down the center. Then he walks away like nothing else could have happened.

Trump's hands are too small to grab a baseball, let alone toss one all the way to the plate.

I'm not sure Bernie has ever done anything athletic in his life...

He could read the leaflet for inspiration.

^^ Airplane reference, that is.

Maybe The Bern would throw a barn burner pitch...

 

[SP33Demon]

Bernie can't even stand up straight let alone throw a ball. My vote is on kasich or trump.

Trump would say how honored he is to be part of the great American past time, completely screw up the pitch and then say how stupid baseball is and what a complete joke and waste of time it is.

Not to mention that he would claim sabotage and take to social media to go after the guy who failed to catch the ball.

Kasich is pretty athletic, or at least he was 10 years ago.
He used to lift weights in the same gym I went to, at the same time I did.
No idea if he can throw a baseball though.

I'm sure Trump would have the best pitch though.
Even if he can't now, he would practice like hell and his ego is so huge he would make damn sure it was perfect.

I wouldn't expect that. He looks age appropriate fit to me but I assumed he was too wonky. Thanks!

I specifically remember him on the lat pulldown cable machine quite a bit.
He would strike up conversation with everyone in ear shot.
He talked to me a few times and I just thought he was extra talkative.
I had no idea who he was...
Then someone told me he was a politician and it all made sense.

Worst = Trump, Cruz - They both ooze of unathleticism.

Maybe? = Hillary, Bernie - They both seem to be in decent shape for their age. I bet they could make a good toss but it would have to be from closer than the mound.

Best = Kasich - Seems like he used to be an athlete and still stays in good shape.

No, he'd claim that it was the best first pitch ever, a perfect strike, and those viewing the video evidence are wrong.

Had he ever gone and played golf with Kim Jong Un, we'd be hearing about 2 people who both shot a perfect round of 18 holes in one.
