Former president George W. Bush was among hundreds of Texas Rangers fans who helped set a new Guinness World Record on Tuesday night for most people wearing sunglasses in the dark.

While most of the 33,533 people donned shades during the game with the Detroit Tigers at Rangers Ballpark, the mark to beat was 423 so Guinness officials only bothered to count two sections of the crowd, MLB.com reported.

That is a great pic, a great story. 30+ seconds of video here.

Another favorite of mine is Randy Johnson vs John Kruk, 1993 all star game. Johnson sails the first pitch over Kruks head, and then John bails on 3 straight pitches.

Ventura sure was stupid to be beaten by an old man who could hurl cheese consistantly over 100mph, and take punches from that very arm...

Chrissy Matthews made Bush look like an idiot. He said nothing about this being a record setting thing just that Bush wore sunglasses at night. Gosh propaganda anyone???
