Karzai has always been way cool, but he's managed to kick it up a notch:
When Afghan President Hamid Karzai visits the city this weekend, he wants to do what countless politicians before him have done: throw out the first pitch at Fenway Park.
Karzai, who will speak at Boston University's commencement on Sunday, has asked to throw out the first pitch during Saturday's game between the Red Sox and Atlanta Braves. But a spokesman for the Afghan embassy in Washington acknowledged that the security logistics could make it difficult.
How awesome it would be it he got to do it. I don't think any foreign leader has ever asked to do such a thing.
