Last night Barack Obama threw out the first pitch at this thing called an All-Star Game, which, apparently, is this sport called baseball. Since Michelle Obama has been inside with her clothes the past couple of days, we may as well turn our eye to Barack, who has been photographed out-of-doors in his apparel. For the baseball he played last night, he wore borderline Mom jeans. We say borderline because they're not quite as Momlike as the jeans he wore bike riding during the campaign. But yesterday's pants were still a tad on the short side. At first we thought they just looked this way owing to the physical activity he engaged in. But a look at the video confirms they came thisclose to exposing sock when he simply walked across the field. [Gothamist]
