“Obviously, I knew (the former president) was there,” Pierzynski said. “When I saw the ball go up, I actually thought I had a chance to catch it. I was going to reach around. I needed about another foot and then I realized I almost jumped in the president’s lap. It was funny. I had Nolan Ryan and George W. Bush sitting within 5 feet of each other.”
“I told him just ’cause he was the president doesn’t mean I wouldn’t jump on top of him. He and his wife got a good chuckle out of it. It was a light moment.”
Wild Thing’s comment…….
That was funny and I loved how George and Laura were laughing about it and having a good time.
Note that Nolan Ryan’s wife is the lady in red trying to shield the President and his wife.
Also interesting to note that the President, asks the player if “he”, is all right.
Hard to imagine the faux White Sox fan, who throws like a girl, even being there.
It is really great to see President Bush, out among the folks, doing what he likes to do.
Thank G_d she was able to keep her dress down! One “Afro” is more than enough … thank you.
