Former U.S. President George W. Bush will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Game 1 of the World Series between the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks Friday night.
Bush, the U.S. president between 2001 and 2009, was part of a group that purchased the Rangers in 1989. He resigned as managing partner following his election as Texas governor in 1994.
According to the Associated Press, Bush has participated in four World Series ceremonial first pitches, but Friday's at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, will be his first before an opener.

Post 9-11, we could have have changed immigration law and stopped Islamic immigration into our homeland. The political capital was there.
But we had Bush Junior, so we got idiotic stammering about “religion of peace”, and Islam kept coming and growing.
I’ll bet he gets booed like crazy.
yes two decades of eye opening and connecting to current events
He’s still a war criminal
I saw a clip...he looked like shit and bounced it.
Just showed W and wife.
🤢
My best friend was killed in that stupid war. I remember the pride I felt when they had elections and held up their purple fingers, then the disgust years later when we abandoned the country.
Politicians are evil and vile corrupt people, those that send others to die, and start wars that wipe out thousands of civilians so they can get their bribes and kickback will find themselves on a special circle of hell.
But my friend was a brave and honorable man. He did his job because he loved his country, and so he could free people from oppression.
The cause is a separate thing and takes nothing from the honor of those who served.
A la chingada Los Bush’s
after 4-5 years of boycott, I started watching the world series again. Tape and speed thru. No first pitch ceremony no national anthem, no hall of famers introduced at the game, and they still claim to be america’s past time.
It was a big never mind. He meant to say Iran.
Both Bushes held the kings hand and kissed him Probably thanking him for a check.
.....There is no one on the American political spectrum who likes or respects George W. Bush......
All the 21st century presidents so far were failures—except for Donald J Trump!!!!
But the scholars who are considered qualified “raters” of presidents rate Trump very low. That happened to Truman back in the day. The “raters” were wrong then, and they’re wrong now!
Go Diamondbacks!!!!
I did too, and I still say ending the sanctions was a good thing. Sadly, it's obvious by now that what was good for the Iraqi people wasn't what our government cared about.
