Did you know that both George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush loved baseball? George H. W. Bush was captain of the Yale Baseball Team in college and George W. Bush was once part owner of the Texas Rangers Baseball Team! Baseball itself is truly an all-American sport that has a history of uniting our great nation in times of war and great distress.

The Bush Family Home State Historic Site is hosting an event to honor the Bush’s love of baseball and the game itself and its history of unity with games, crafts, and a chance to win two different baseballs, during the hours of 10 am to 3 pm on April 12th! One baseball will be signed by the Rockhounds, Midland’s own Baseball Team. The other baseball will be signed by Texas Rangers Hall-of-Famer Ivan “Pudge” Rodriquez. The Rockhounds’ own mascot will be joining them near the end of the event at 3 pm, to meet guests and announce the winners of the baseballs! Join the Bush Family Home staff for a great time celebrating our nation’s very own sport!

“There’s going to be so much going on! Plus, there’s a chance to win two signed baseballs! It doesn’t get much better than that!” says Educator Erin Frigo.

The Bush Family Home State Historic Site is located at 1412 West Ohio St. in Midland. The hours for the home are: Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; the last tour begins at 4:15 p.m. Learn more: visitbushfamilyhome.com.
