I miss him, too!

World Series Fans Yell "We Miss You George"

By Katie Pavlich

Last night, former President George W. Bush threw out the first pitch for game 4 of the Texas Rangers vs. St. Louis Cardinals World Series. Not only did Bush throw a perfect strike, but fans in the crowd were yelling, "We miss you George!" as he walked to the mound.

Former President George W. Bush threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Rangers president Nolan Ryan before Game 4 of the World Series on Sunday for the second year in a row.

This time, though, it was sans his father, President George H.W. Bush, who had accompanied his son to the mound before Game 4 here in 2010:



The younger Bush, who on Sunday zipped in a fastball from the front edge of the mound, was making his third such appearance on the mound at Rangers Ballpark. He also threw out the first pitch on Opening Day 2009, shortly after leaving the White House.

  1. Thanks for including this video. I watched it last night and was thrilled to hear the shouts and applause for W. They were every bit as enthusiastic as for Nolan Ryan, who is considered a G-d to baseball fans.

    What I loved just as much was the high-five the two of them gave each other when the Rangers went ahead 4-0, with Laura smiling up at both. They looked liked kids, they were so excited. Such a nice moment in this dreary time!

  2. Yes, the news depresses me so--that's why I come here to play with my cats and frogs and friends!
