THAT'S NOT AN ESPECIALLY IMPRESSIVE SKILL IN A PRESIDENT.... Before last night's World Series game, former Presidents Bush took the mound for a ceremonial pitch, thrown, not surprisingly, by the younger one.  It was in Texas, and Bush 43 used to own one of the teams in the game, so the Bushes were well received.
