41 and 43 To Throw Out the First Pitches for Tonight’s World Series Game
How will this moment play out to the millions watching? ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush will throw out ceremonial first pitches before Game 4 of the World Series on Sunday night. The San Francisco Giants lead the Texas Rangers 2-0 in the best-of-seven series. George W. Bush was managing general partner of the Rangers from 1989-94 and maintained partial ownership of the club until 1998, two years before he was elected the 43rd president. A year ago Democrats would have loved to have this happen two days before an important election. Bush was a bogeyman to them and his ratings with the rest of the country weren’t that good either. Reminding voters of Bush might have helped them. However, today Bush is polling five points better than Obama when people are asked who is the better president.
