The Yale groundskeeper suggested Bush hit up on the ball. The advice raised his batting avg. & helped guide Yale to 2 college WS appearances. That and more in my book 41 GHW Bush & the End of the American Establishment. @Bush41Library

Good luck to all the teams competing in the Men's College World Series starting tomorrow! ⚾ 

Did you know President Bush played as first baseman for Yale in the first two College World Series in 1947 and 1948?

@benshapiro why would they blame the President? He is not responsible for the loss. They are.

Concerned that the @spurs defense displayed in Game 2 is beginning to overwhelm the @nyknicks They need to prove me wrong by winning Wednesday. Go @nyknicks!!!

@rationalyankee one of the concerns I have about this team and it goes back to last year as well is the numbers of runners left in scoring position.

@RLHeinrichs @DefiyantlyFree Much of the argument in the 60s - 80s was about American credibility could we be counted on to support those smaller nations under assault from Communism. The new argument is can allies of the US count on us to step in against Russia and China.

@RichardHaass @SecWar I have never have confidence that the Trump Administration would support Taiwan.
