Well, the time for that first pitch came, and not only was it literally a strike, but there was an outpouring of love, support, and adoration the likes of which no one has ever seen. Did you see Bush last night? First pitch, that's a perfect strike. The catcher was stunned! That never happens on ceremonial pitches. "Well how do you know, Rush?" Ah, in this, my friends, I am indeed an expert. I used to be director of ceremonial first pitches for the Kansas City Royals, and I'm told that the ceremonial first pitch at Royals Stadium has never been the same since I left in 1983. I know about these things.
The players expect the ceremonial pitcher to throw the ball up in the dirt or over their head or bounce the ball 15 to 20 times. But W threw a perfect strike - and there was nothing but love and adulation. Was there a boo or two? Perhaps, but Peter Jennings predicted he might get booed off the mound. It didn't happen.
Now, should I assume this same crowd that filled Yankee Stadium was all these crazed right-wing radio types that Hillary's people were talking about in MSG that night?
