VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN TO THROW OUT CEREMONIAL FIRST PITCH AT CAMDEN YARDS

On Monday April 6th, Vice President Biden will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Orioles Opening Day at Camden Yards.

1) Increase participation and interest in baseball

2) Encourage academic participation and achievement

3) Increase number of talented athletes prepared to play in college and Minor Leagues

4) Promote greater inclusion of minorities into the mainstream of the game

5) Teach the value of teamwork

1. Ted Kennedy is supposed to do the same at Fenway Park in Boston,

but it might be rained out today.

Didn't mean to upstage you, just thought some people would want to know about Kennedy.

2. It is raining here today, so this may not take place

Too bad, I love Joe.

[Thrill]

4. I heard the weather is going to bad up there

Hopefully they get it in

5. Sounds like a real good way

to bring kids in on it, too. Has this been done before?

I don't know how the weather is in Baltimore but it's not very conducive to baseball up here in Central New York.
