And as you can see from the picture above, de Blasio gives Obama a run for his money for the title of “most effeminate first pitch by a male politician.”

Via NY Post:

Mets fans greeted Mayor de Blasio with hearty Bronx cheers on Monday, as he delivered the Amazins’ ceremonial first pitch on Opening Day.

Donning a pinstripe home white jersey and blue Mets cap over dress pants, de Blasio was loudly booed twice by Flushing faithful — once as he was announced and then again as he left the Citi Field diamond.

The wave of boos didn’t get to de Blasio, who kept his cool, kicked and delivered from just in front of the pitcher’s mound.

De Blasio — wearing a No. 6 Mets jersey with his name on the back – tossed a strike to Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud, and flashed a relieved grin that he delivered a corner-painting, Opening Day pitch.

De Blasio wore No. 6 in honor of late-1960s Boston Red Sox great Rico Petrocelli, the mayor’s aides said.

Update: Not sure which is funnier, the deafening boos or his limp-wristed throwing skills.
