Mission, uh, accomplished.
With his father George H.W. Bush is looking from just a few feet away, the Republican Experienced righthander threw an impressive no-bounce heater to Texas Rangers team president Nolan Ryan behind the plate. While the pitch had occurred nowhere near the emotional impact of Bush's strike DURING the 2001 World Series after 9 / 11, it was a big article for Bush, WHO Used To own the team, and for his family's constituents in the state of Texas.
Indeed, the standing-room only crowd at Rangers Ballpark Stood and cheered as the two former Presidents emerged from left field in a golf cart driven by the younger Bush. San Francisco Giants outfielder Cody Ross (notes) was so Moved by The Moment That they broke from the left field line - and Any Concerns That He'll be welcomed back to San Francisco - to shake the elder Bush's hand as the golf cart Passed by .
Bush's pitch was Followed by loud chants of USA! U-S-A! from the crowd dressed in red and blue.
