President Autographs Items at All-Star Game for UMPS CARE Auction

President Obama visited with the Major League Baseball All-Star Umpiring Crew before the game in St. Louis this past week. President Obama, his aide Reggie Love, a few Secret Service personnel and five Major League Baseball officials — including Commissioner Bud Selig — squeezed into the umpires’ room to meet umpires Dana Demuth, Brian Gorman, Jeff Kellogg, Angel Hernandez, Tim Timmons, and Paul Nauert.

The President signed two commemorative jerseys and All-Star home plates that will be auctioned off in the upcoming months. All proceeds will benefit UMPS CARE Charities.
