Freeper dmd25 gave me a great idea when he posted a few photos from the facts of President Bush’s T-Ball initiative

So I thought I would let us go back into the memory lane and post photos of the T Ball games at the White House which we all enjoyed reading about.

I know the feeling.....Hopefully the 2010 midterm elections will make things a little more tolerable until the 2012 Presidential Election....

Thank you so much Kaslin! Brought a smile to my face after a long and hard day! =)
My pleasure
LOVE the photos . . . so many beautiful memories!!
You are welcome
Wow...that brought a tear. Happy days playing a simple game. Will we ever get back there? Instead of games, the current occupant & spouse are too busy “scolding” everyone about everything.
Thanks for posting this. My son is at baseball practice right now. Everything about it reminds me of what is good and right in our country, especially the generous dads who give their time for the kids.
You are welcome
I am glad I was able to. :)
There are indeed great memories, and thanks
With coaches and a big furry mascot on hand, the bases were always loaded with activity during the third Tee Ball game on the South Lawn on Sunday, July 15, 2001.
The little leaguers were so eager that even getting tagged out was fun during the third Tee Ball game on the South Lawn on Sunday, July 15, 2001.
Rounding bases amid cheers and applause, coming home is always a cause for celebration during the third Tee Ball game on the South Lawn on Sunday, July 15, 2001.

Thank you President Bush, for trying to make the UN RESOLUTIONS mean SOMETHING! And thank you for not risking our nation's safety and for stopping a man who paid off familys who sacrificed their children [who wore strapped on body bombs].
That pic you posted brings how much I miss President Bush home to my heart. U am even crying a bit, because I suffered like many of you as the press so unfairly, so blatantly biased, kept to ONE SIDE of an INCREDIBLY STORY.
I hate it when I still hear elite liberals who are SO STUPID mock this good man and ignore his terrific wisdom and leadership. A LEADERSHIP founded on leading by EXAMPLE!!!!!
Just go ahead obama and smoke those cigarettes and drink that fancy mojito and order your friggin lobster and waygu beef and party down, brother. No one who matters respects you.
.....Hopefully the 2010 midterm elections will make things a little more tolerable until the 2012 Presidential Election....
From your lips to Gods ears. Something HAS to give or we will no longer be free to be free!

What a great photo! I often and strenuously disagreed with him- but by God I never once wondered if he loved America. I miss him. I miss knowing that flawed as they were, there were grown-ups in the administration.
