From the rubber, and with a bulletproof vest, none the less. I wasn't a fan of his administration, but that took big balls.

They say it was especially difficult because he was wearing body armor.

That might be the best executed first pitch I've ever see

When you look at the buildup/context leading to that pitch, him throwing a perfect strike from the mound while wearing kevlar is fantastic

Whoa. 1 pitch at 55mph. 5+5-1=9. George W Bush has 11 letters. 9, 11. Bush did 9/11. Never forget.

Off the mound too. I find a lot of these celebrity pitches are done from like 10 feet in front of mound.

Trump refused to pitch. Probably didn't want to drain his battery.

He was also the owner of the Texas Rangers. He knows a thing or two about baseball.

Thought that was his dad whom played 1st base for Yale, not him. He was a cheer leader.

Fun fact: before the game, Jeter told him to throw it from the mound or the crowd would boo.

Never was a fan of G.W., but I have to admit the dude is a natural athlete. Did you see him dodge those shoes? Amazing.

It's funny how the "GW disclaimer" before saying a thing about GW has become a meme in itself.

Was hoping it was at least a decent throw. It wasn't

That was pretty rough haha. I remember reading a thing about bush saying that throwing a ball in a bulletproof vest is hard, 9/11 and all

I'm not crazy about how revered he is; he had cocaine and alcohol in his system and killed 2 other friends with him. Very irresponsible.
