Another Bain/LOC photo of Governor Tenor throwing out the first ball at Ebbets Field:
National League President (and Pennsylvania Governor) throws out the first ball in the first game of the season at Ebbetts Field in Brooklyn, April 14, 1914. The Dodgers beat the Braves that day. Cold weather kept the crowd down to about 12,000.

Date is 4/10/1913. According to www.baseball-almanac.com/prz_cww.shtml this "opening day" game was the first of six baseball games he attended that season, the only one wher he threw out the first pitch. The Senators beat the Yankees 2-1.
