Obama to steer clear of World Series during Boston visit

U.S. President Obama is given a Red Sox baseball cap by Boston Mayor Menino upon his arrival in Boston By Roberta Rampton BOSTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama has steered clear of Wednesday's matchup between the Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals in game six of the World Series during his visit to Boston, partly to avoid being an extra burden on a baseball-mad city. Obama visited Boston to discuss his landmark health insurance law at a time Boston authorities are stretched thin with preparations for a game that gives the Red Sox a chance to win the championship at home for first time in 95 years. "I am well aware that a presidential visit is not the biggest thing going on today in Boston," Obama told a crowd at the city's historic Fanueil Hall, two-and-a-half miles from Fenway Park, where the game will be played.
