Some of us still have fond memories of President Bush’s first pitch in the 2001 World Series. Marco Rubio attended college on a football scholarship and, while he didn’t turn out to be a star football player, it is safe to assume that he could pitch a baseball without looking like he had never hurled an object before. I don’t believe there is any scientific study analyzing the correlation between first pitch competence and electability, but I have no doubt that at some level, the correlation exists.
