It's funny to see Barbara with her little point-and-shoot camera. As if all public moments in her family aren't documented by hundreds of professional photographers at every second. She's not arrogant like other First Ladies I can think of.

Both Bushes made a lot of mistakes for our country, but in the end they're a class act, not an embarrassment to the people of America.

God bless this family — the antidote to the accursed Kennedys.

Not all family stories are Uthurian...

Nice toss, Mr President.

When I see Clinton at an event such as this I harbor only curiosity and I wish them Dems would feel that way. On the other hand when I see Jimmy Carter in any way I throw up in my mouth a little.

So good to see Laura the Lady.

The contrast between her and Aunt Esther is unbelievable.

Very nice, I had to watch it again even though I had watched it earlier tonight. :)

Unlike the wimpy, girly throw that Obama the eunuch threw a few weeks back.

What a moment: Father and son presidents, two former first ladies, Nolan Ryan and a strike for good measure . . . It just doesn’t get any better than this!!

I was just going to say the same thing....I was sitting here in tears - I’m not a Lyle Lovette fan but he did a great job with the National Anthem - no screeching or screaming - just a great heartfelt version and then out came Bush-41 and Bush-43 and W threw a strike - just like he did at Yankee Stadium after 9/11........class, class, class!!!!!! Lordy, I miss him every single day.........

[devane617]

Just imagine how Obama would have been greeted here in Texas...

10-4!!!

I take it by the way the three men were interacting, Nolan Ryan is a Republican.

Now let’s compare Bush’s pitch tonight to that pansy assed Barry’s pitch earlier this year. Real man vs real wimp.

I just saw it. Very heartwarming. Barbara Bush and Laura there cheering them on. George HW looks very feeble. Nolan Ryan had to help him out of the cart.

Dubya was very casual in throwing out the pitch but it was a good one.

Wow that was adorable. That’s the part of baseball I like. What was the music?

[thecodont]

Nice pitch!

Did they play Hail to the Chief? they should have.

Beautiful throw, beautiful people.

God bless them!

(Loved the cheers for our 'unpopular' President!)
