Baseball Blogs Weigh In: Smith, Royals, Wells, Gyorko

By Zachary Links | April 5, 2013 at 2:15pm CDT

On this date three years ago, President Barack Obama stepped on to the mound at Nationals Stadium wearing a White Sox cap and a Nats jacket and threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to Washington's home opener against Philadelphia.  Obama's throw was pretty off the mark, but third baseman Ryan Zimmerman jumped up and made the catch.  Here's this week's look around the blogosphere..
