Barack Obama throws out the first pitch at a baseball game in St Louis, Missouri.
St Louis Cardinals star Albert Pujols helped the president, moving up on the plate and reaching out to scoop the toss.
Obama had warmed up on the White House grounds on Monday, and was determined his pitch would reach the plate. It did, but only just.
The President was wearing the jacket of his home team, the Chicago White Sox.
"My wife thinks I look cute in this jacket," he said.
