This “30 For 30” Short On President Bush’s First Pitch After 9/11 Will Gut Punch You Right In The Feels
If there’s one thing ESPN does right, it’s the “30 For 30” series. They honestly could make a documentary on the equipment manager of a Canadian semi-pro curling team captivating, can’t miss television. So jerking your emotions with a story based around September 11th was less challenging than making J.J. Watt come across as a complete cheesedick.
Now this video is twenty-four minutes long, but it’s more than likely the best half hour you’ll spend all day.
I don’t care what party you affiliate with, there’s no denying President Bush is the absolute man. Forget politics, if there’s one person you’d want to sit down with to drink brews and talk baseball, it’s W..
I was at this game when my parents took me when I was a kid. I remember nothing but chills during that pitch and the whole pregame ceremony after 9/11. #neverforget
10 years ago at 4:00 pmPutting “there’s no denying” in front of a statement that many people strongly disagree with. TFM.(Although don’t get me wrong, huge fan of Bush).
10 years ago at 4:05 pmTo think that there are people out there who freely call W the worst president we’ve ever had. No matter what side of the isle you vote for you can’t deny that George W Bush handled 9/11 amazingly.
10 years ago at 5:44 pmSome days I get on this website and feel like I just wasted 20 minutes reading buzz feed articles and #blackballsteveholt comments. But some days, I get on and I’m reminded how truly persevering our country can be in the most terrifying circumstances, and how inspiring our leaders are. Between this and the Red Bandana article, ya’ll really showed up to work today.

10 years ago at 8:17 amIt pains me to hear fuckers say that Bush did 9/11, it’s neither true nor funny in the slightest of ways.
10 years ago at 9:03 pmSomehow, I don’t think Hillary Clinton would elicit the same respect in a situation like this…
10 years ago at 8:05 amImagine a 9/11 scale disaster happening with Obama as Pres and that commie idiot DeBlasio as Mayor of NYC
Obligatory gif of W’s first pitch side by side with our current limp wristed POTUS throwing like a girl:
