7/10, but I’ll give myself an extra point for knowing Reagan returned to the booth, but I did forget that it happened while still president:
Reagan was President of the United States when the Cubs finally turned on the lights in 1988. He flew over the field in Marine One. Reagan also made one last stop at Wrigley Field later that year. He threw out the first pitch and announced 1-1/2 innings in the broadcast booth alongside Harry Caray.
