Bush tried to avoid boos.


Thinkprogress:

The AP reports:
President Bush had enough to worry about - like not flubbing the first pitch in front of a crowd that might not exactly be his biggest fans anyway.
So before the game, when a couple of Atlanta Braves gave him a team jersey and suggested he wear it to throw out the first pitch at Nationals Park, Bush laughed. Uh, no thanks, guys. Might as well put on a sign that says “Boo me.”
“I’m not going to give them any excuses,” Bush said of the 40,000-plus people gathered for the opening of Washington’s gleaming baseball stadium.
