George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, tossed the ceremonial first pitch before Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night. This was the 12th time Bush has thrown out a ceremonial first pitch at an MLB game, and his fifth time as former president. This was his first ceremonial first pitch since the 2017 World Series at Minute Maid Park, the home of the Houston Astros. Bush also has thrown out the first pitch at the College World Series, Little League World Series, and Japan Series. The last time a sitting president threw a ceremonial first pitch was when Barack Obama did so on Opening Day 2010.
