Any other Americans watching that first pitch get chills down their spines as the crowd chanted USA..USA..USA...USA  ??
My wife had a tear rolling down her cheek, and there was some sort of liquid swelling in my eye. God Bless America.

PS. that pitch that George threw was a curve ball Strike!

Was a fine desperate last ditch try by the Yanks to hang on. Well done Yanks! <S!>

Now we know what he's been up to on what little time he's had off, wonder who coached him it was great pitch.

Bush was a baseball player and Gymist (Male Cheer leader for that matter) in college.  He was part owner of (Texas Rangers?)...he didn't have to get coached.

Gotta love the Austin UnAmerican Statesman.  The front page has a big picture of that washout MJ  :(  I was wishing that I'd see Bush on the cover being patriotic, but NO!!!
