    Edit
    • Trivia
      Martin Sheen did in fact throw the first pitch in each of his several takes filming the first pitch scene, and missed the catcher on some of the takes. One of his missed throws struck the Oriole mascot, and the mascot responded by clapping both "wings" to his side, falling over, and sticking both feet in the air, in imitation of a cartoon bird being hit by a rock. This is especially ironic, in light of the fact that a minor subplot revolves around the President being unable to throw and former President Franklin D. Roosevelt accidentally hitting someone when throwing out the first pitch.
    • Quotes

      Charlie Young: [telling the President that he has to practice throwing a baseball with a bullet proof vest on before throwing the first pitch out at a baseball game] Sir, everyone agrees.

      President Josiah Bartlet: Like who?

      Charlie Young: Leo, Josh, CJ, your wife, the Notre Dame athletic department...
