Q. Does the President view himself as the commissioner of tee-ball? (Laughter.)
ARI FLEISCHER: I’ll have to ask him about that. I hadn’t thought about that yet. I know he is looking forward to it. Since he can’t throw out the first pitch, placing the first tee.
Q. When is the first game?
MR. FLEISCHER: April or May. We’re still working on the exact date.
Q. And will Cabinet Secretaries and staff be coaches?
MR. FLEISCHER: I think you can anticipate there’s going to be a healthy amount of participation from the White House, from Cabinet Secretaries. I mean, there’s just a whole lot of fun to be had with this in a good, welcoming way. We’ll have to decide who gets to sing the National Anthem.
Q. Mark Knoller. (Laughter.)
