The YouTube video is titled “Bush booed at 2008 Nationals home opener,” and indeed there are boos, as there usually are for politicians who throw out the ceremonial first pitch at baseball games. There are also cheers, and I think the cheers definitely overwhelm the boos when President Bush throws his “high heat.” It’s been nice to have a president who cares about making a real pitch on these occasions, and it’s just one of the things that in my humble opinion people will find themselves missing come 2009. And of-course it brings back memories of his pitch at the 2001 World Series in Yankee Stadium.
