I know that’s a common perception, but how much of an “oil man’ is Bush anyway? Not being cute, just don’t know.

I know he’s also owned a baseball team at some point, is he a big defender of “big ball”?

He was in the oil industry, and I don’t know for sure, but I’d be shocked if he didn’t still have money in the industry. When you are in a business, you make many friends, and contacts. If you’re asking for concrete hard evidence, I think I made it clear in my post it was pure conjecture on my part.

Baseball doesn’t need any help. Have you seen the salaries of the players, or tried to buy a ticket?

From childhood. His dad, an oil man himself, formed Zapata Oil to drill in the Gulf of Mexico.
