Dubya throws a strike
Fox Sports Net | 4/5/04 | Me

President Bush just threw out the first pitch for the Cardinal-Brewers baseball game. And nailed it for a strike, just as he did in 2001 at the Yankee playoff game.

It looked great - the entire stadium was on it's feet cheering - I couldn't hear one boo in the crowd.

You could tell GW was excited to be here - St. Louis loved it!

So did VP Cheney at the Cubs-Reds opener. A strike with HEAT!

Not that it matters but did Clinton ever throw out a first pitch? Can't imagine that load throwing a baseball.

Mostly cheers with an undercurrent of boos...and you could tell the cheering crowd was cranking it up trying to drown out the booers...

I thought that was the World Series?

More cheers than boos?? Missouri/St. Louie is an important state...I'd hope there were some good feelings there.

St. Looouie is overwhelmingly Democrap. If Dubya got more cheers than boos there, I'd say he's in fine shape statewide. :)

some...not a lot...and definetly not the majority, but there were some...

You could tell he was having a great time, and had a nice little interview with Fox announcer and St. Louis announcer Joe Buck afterwards. They talked baseball and it's obvious he loves it. He was wearing a Cardinal jacket and appeared to be loving it...

Said he was going back to Crawford tonite.

If you're going to post like that, would you change your flag to France?

I honestly didn't hear any and when they panned the crowd I saw all hands clapping - I thought it was a great reaction.
