Having been in Yankee stadium on that night in 2001, all politics aside, nothing beats the President firing a perfect strike! The game of baseball will miss Jeter! Bush, recounting the story from an excerpt in his 2010 book Decision Points, then spoke about going into an indoor batting cage to loosen his arm. After a few warm-up pitches, the great Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter dropped in to take some swings. We talked a little, Bush said, adding that Jeter told him to throw from the mound, Or else theyll boo you. ... But dont bounce it. Theyll boo you. When the video ended, showing Bush throwing a strike, the former president came on the field. He gave a surprised Jeter a framed signed picture of the two together in the batting cage that night nearly 13 years ago. The photo was from the archives of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in nearby Dallas.
