President George W. Bush Will Throw Out First Pitch
It is not a surprise that President George W. Bush will throw out the first pitch before Game 1 in Arlington, Texas.
The former President is a longtime Texas Rangers fan and maintained an ownership stake in the team from 1989-1994.
Bush was a visible presence the last time the Rangers were in the World Series in 2010, and he threw out a pitch in that series also.

The Rangers are one of six MLB teams (San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, Colorado Rockies, Milwaukee Brewers, Tampa Bay Rays, and Rangers) who have never won a World Series.
They are looking to rewrite history beginning with Game 1 in Arlington against the Arizona Diamondbacks at 8:00 PM EDT.
The game will air on FOX.
Zac Gallen will take the mound for Arizona, and Nathan Eovaldi will be the Rangers starting pitcher.
