  • Resumen

  • The first ceremonial opening day “first pitch” took place in National Park, later to be named Griffith Stadium, on April 14, 1910, by William Howard Taft, preceding the game between the Philadelphia Athletics and Washington Nationals.

    It began a tradition by presidents, dignitaries, entertainers, and other special guests before games in the major leagues. Many teams have started games throughout the season with the custom, including Nashville’s minor league teams.

    On April 8, 1961, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson came to town for a speaking engagement. After a parade to Sulphur Dell upon his arrival, he threw out the first pitch before an afternoon game between the Vols and Chattanooga Lookouts!
