It's the most important time of the year: playoff season! (Though I have heard rumors that there's also an election of some sort coming up.)

Here's a fun fact to keep your fellow fans fascinated: President Taft was the very first President to cast the first pitch on opening day. It's a tradition still followed to this day.

On April 15, 1910, Taft pitched the ball to Washington Senators' pitcher Walter Johnson from his seat along the sidelines. They went on to beat the Philadelphia Athletics in a 3-0 shutout.

Stay tuned! Every Friday we'll highlight an interesting item from presidential history.
