1956 Photograph of President Dwight Eisenhower as he threw out the ceremonial first pitch to start the baseball season between the Washington Senators and Yankees. A crystal clear original image, this example was taken by a photographer from the International News (Doug Chevalier) and bears their stamp on the back. This is one of the best images of Eisenhower throwing out a baseball opening pitch that exists and it grades almost perfect.
