Within the family of George Prescott Bush, baseball is not only a sport, it’s a religion. At times, he says, that religion was “outsized.”
When he was a teenager, he watched his grandfather, President George H.W. Bush, put on a bulletproof vest so he could throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the grand opening of Baltimore’s Camden Yards. When he was in law school in Texas, he watched from afar as his uncle, George W. Bush, threw out a first pitch during the World Series at Yankee Stadium to unify the country for a moment following the 9/11 attacks.
