ON OCTOBER 30, 2001, PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH THREW OUT THE CEREMONIAL FIRST PITCH OF A BASEBALL GAME AT YANKEE STADIUM.
WHAT WAS UNUSUAL ABOUT THIS APPEARANCE?
ON OCTOBER 30, 2001, IT WAS GAME THREE OF THE WORLD SERIES AND THE FIRST GAME OF THE SERIES PLAYED AT YANKEE STADIUM.
THE GAME WAS INTENDED TO SYMBOLIZE A "RETURN TO NORMALCY" AFTER THE 9/11 ATTACKS (WHICH HAD TAKEN PLACE JUST A FEW WEEKS EARLIER.)
PRESIDENT BUSH TOSSED OUT THE FIRST PITCH (IT WAS A PERFECT STRIKE).
THIS REMAINS THE ONLY KNOWN CASE OF ANYONE THROWING OUT A FIRST PITCH AT A BASEBALL GAME WHILE WEARING A BULLET-PROOF VEST.

Too bad the entire country couldn't have been 'bullet- proofed' from all of jr.'s 8 years in office after he committed Grand Theft Election in 2000.
