the old ballgame

"And why did we have to see the players? Well, if you'll notice, they were all wearing "43" jerseys. The first guy who batted (left-handed, of course) had on a 43 jersey - Bush is the 43rd president. The next batter? A "43" jersey. The batter after that? Facing the opposite direction (I guess they burned through the other two too fast), but with a "43" jersey. The pitches were wild, and weren't going anywhere - and if you'll notice, Bush made no reference to the game behind him, who was playing, or why he was there."
