Obama's All-Star Game pitch

Tuesday night:
That was a pretty unusual camera angle on Obama's All Star Game pitch. We usually get the view that includes the pitcher and the catcher. Pujols was barely in the shot, making it difficult to tell whether the ball made it all the way, or where Pujols was positioned. But judging from Obama's self-congratulatory gesture I guess he made it. Or maybe that was just spin?

Wednesday morning:
Confirmation from the Washington Times:

Obama's ceremonial first pitch at the All-Star game barely reached the plate Tuesday night. St. Louis Cardinals star Albert Pujols helped the president, moving up on the plate and reaching out to scoop the low toss.

From ESPN:

Television viewers, however, were initially left to wonder whether the presidential pitch skipped. The TV angle cut off Pujols' catch, and many people at Busch Stadium weren't completely sure.

And why was that, pray tell? Very, very unusual camera work there.
