President Bush is slated to throw out the ceremonial first pitch for the Washington Nationals’ first game at their new ballpark, team owner Mark Lerner said Saturday. The Nationals will open Nationals Park on March 30 against Atlanta. Bush also threw out the first pitch for the Nationals in 2005, when the franchise played its first game at RFK Stadium after moving from Montreal.
