  • faf

  • Why does Bushes video say President, and President Obama's say Obama". And Bush wasn't even the current president.

  • @sambam2694 Pretty sure he was president? In fact I'm 100% sure that he took office in January of 2001 and this was in November of 2001

  • Obama throws from in front of the mound. Bush threw from the rubber!

  • nice little 2 seam action on that one.

  • he stepped on the line

  • Comment removed

  • obama could never do this...this is why bush was an amazing leader!!!!

  • Damn he put Baba Booey to shame

  • Wow! He owned Justin Bieber and Mariah Carey with that throw!

  • Only at Yankee Stadium

  • best pitch i've ever seen

  • This will FOREVER be the best first pitch of all-time

  • strikkkkkkkkkkkke

  • i hate george bush but i gotta admit that was a nice throw

  • This game was in NYC only weeks after the 9/11 attacks. George Bush has said that this was "the most nervous moment of my entire presidency." The fact that he fuckin NAILS the pitch makes this so epic.

  • 1:48  i like that sign

  • nice throw, Mr. President

  • I think this video is being copied and/or distributed without the express consent of Major League Baseball.

  • @DeanAMacd Read the description. It's being rebroadcast under Fair Use.

    It's actually a historic moment, of sorts, considering the events not long before this game. In New York, no less.

  • Bush can fire a strike at Yankee Stadium. AJ Burnett could only dream of this.

  • @brandonmccann Bush can throw a strike at Yankee Stadium. Obama can't even get it over the plate in Washington DC (figuratively AND literally).

  • wow he is better than jon lackey

  • is someone ran on the field at that moment, it would have probably been the last steps of his life

  • @EnzoValenzetti

    You need to do better, your trolling attempt is way too obvious.

  • The most nervous of his ENTIRE presidency??!!

    Here's a quote from Dubyas book:

    The adrenaline was coursing through my veins, and the ball felt like a shotput. And Todd Greene, the catcher, looked really small. Sixty feet and six inches seemed like a half-mile. And anyway, I took a deep breath and threw it, and thankfully it went over the plate. The response was overwhelming. It was the most nervous I had ever been. It was the most nervous moment of my entire presidency, it turns out.

  • steeeeriiike!!!

    

  • Brewcrew baby!

  • i hate the yankees with all my heart.. but damn that was a perfect throw mr.president... thats swag

  • Comment removed

  • there are major league pitcher who wish they could as nasty a curve ball as the pres. did and he did it with a bullet proof vest on.........one of many seemingly small but uplifting moments after 9/11/01

  • Damn good pitch

  • D-Backs baby!

  • I disagreed with just about everything he did, but nice pitch Mr. President.

  • I remember back when people were proud to be from America and everyone was united. Too bad it took an attack on our own soil to do it...

  • @xliver4 Oh yeah? When exactly was that? I'm sure you've got vivid memories of plowing fields with an american flag draped over you.

  • @mitchamaya Right after the September 11 attacks. Look, don't take this the wrong way. I'm by no means the most patriotic person or some crazy Conservative looking back to the "good ol' days" or anything like that. I'm just saying that it was cool how for a moment most people felt a sense of unity.

  • @xliver4 Okay, you're off the hook.

  • i like the banner. "US fears nobody, play ball". so true.

  • damn george that was a nice pitch

  • bush attack NYC twice, first on 9 11 and by coming to the world series curse yankees out of championship. he's the antichrist

  • @bushfusa shut uppppp

  • FAGOT! lol 

  • And he was wearing a bullet proof vest to boot!

  • Barak Obama has basketball, George W. Bush has baseball

  • terrible president. great pitch.

  • hell that was a good pitch!

  • W being The BOSS

    

  • That thumbs up was a big "F You Terrorists"

  • Best first I ever saw

  • our new closer when the great mo retires!

  • 1st time i saw the manager for the yankees smile

  • That wasn't too shabby of a changeup right down the middle... damn relievers that walk people!!!

  • USA, BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, BAR-NONE.

  • what a horrible throw

  • I don't get this first pitch thing. Do they just throw the ball to start the game or something?

  • @crazypianolady Its just a cerimony

  • He made me So proud to be a New yorker and Best of All AN AMERICAN!

  • President Bush is a Hero. He certainly showed the World what being a Leader is all about. I shudder when I think what our outcome would have been if Obama was in charge during this time.

  • @MrTonydeMatos you shouldn't talk on the internet, it makes you sound stupid

  • whatever your party is, one cannot deny the magnitude of this day!

    and as for the death and attack on sept 11? terrorists should be blame not BUSH!!

  • This is the buffoon responsible for 3000 deaths on american soil and many thousands more in two meaningless wars. 3 trillion dollars spent in weaponry and corrupt deals, a huge worldwide economic decline...and the majority of the comments here praise him for his pitch?! His bravery? Really...a vast majority of the people of USA never ceases to amaze me. You really ARE the most ignorant society in the world. Period.

  • @MrTonydeMatos And your a stupid child whose country would be destroyed by ours in seconds =) you kind of people are the worst. People in Portugal are so worthless and stupid. There so ignorant.

  • @JamesGreerwuzhyre Ohhh you so powerful Mr James...and you would be at the forefront of the battle for Portugal, a fierce marine just recently drafted at your college by a nice man in uniform, with promises of conquest and a paycheck, instead of unemployment and misery in your great nation! Have you ever visited our worthless and stupid country Mr James? Do you have a brain Mr James? Who is Mr James? A proud member of THE most ignorant society in the World.

  • @MrTonydeMatos Lmao hey you started it. I never said anything about myself retard I said MY country not ME. Don't need to visit that worthless country have you ever visited ours? You are a very stupid child it's time to grow up and stop hating on other countries. Btw if any country is ignorant its Portugal. And yes I do realize every other country hates us know why? Cuz there all jealous and they can't do jack shit about us. Tryin to defend shitty ass portugal LMFAO

  • @JamesGreerwuzhyre Yes I have. The fact that you say: "Don't need to visit that worthless country(...)" is enough to prove my point. The level of ignorance and prejudice of a vast majority of the American people is blatantly obvious to the eyes of a foreigner. For your information I probably know more of your history as a country than the average hip hop moron roaming your proud streets of New York. You have a fascinating history, worthy of admiration, but trust me we do not envy you. Sad git.

  • @MrTonydeMatos Lol your talking about prejudice? Aren't you the one who started those kind of comments? Yes, you did. Calling us the most ignorant for no reason. You proved my point in your very first comment that you are all ignorant. I rest my case. Maybe you don't envy us, but most countries do. In case you didn't know. I'm sure you do know more, hip hop artists are drop outs. Simple.

  • @MrTonydeMatos Portugal's unemployment rate is higher than the United States' unemployment rate and your country, along with Greece, looks like it's going to bring down the Euro. Portugal sucks and will never rise out of Spain's shadow. Please, do us all a favor and shut the hell up.

  • @RustyShackelfurt People always need to establish a comparison between the wealth of two countries in order to choose which one is the greatest. This is a bad habit and only leads to bad preconceptions. I could say that the USA has spent 3 trillion dollars in weaponry in pointless wars, when its total debt is a number that I can't even imagine, almost entirely owned by the Chinese. China owns the USA. But money isn't everything in life. Social factors and quality of life are much more important.

  • And in that respect you trail almost all developed countries. The social awareness of the American people is poor (healthcare system...), and the fact that you managed to elect a moron, reflects your profound ignorance. What will bring down the Euro, and our economic system as a whole, was the lunacy of some Wall Street yuppies, the excess of consumerism and credit in our societies and the corrupt leaders of all our governments. Greece and Portugal are just a consequence, not the cause.

  • @MrTonydeMatos You are wrong Period... Obama has spent more money than every president combined.. On what? failed programs.. Bush was brave because he was able to unify the country after a terrible loss and acted so that he could SAVE more lives and PREVENT more attacks which he did. You blame all of obamas failures on bush.. that is true ignorance. One of the greatest presidents of our time. PERIOD.

  • Comment removed

  • Best pres ever

  • @stubblefieldJR are u kidding

  • Well, we can all agree that he could pose. Blew the job, but he could look good doing it.

  • Only thing Bush got right during his 8 years in office.

  • That was quite the fine throw there. Pretty impressive, all things considered.

  • it's so amazing that this guy is now one of the most hated men in the world. 

  • sick pitch

  • Bush's finest hour as OUR president

  • I'm about as far away from a fan of President Bush or the Yankees as you can get...but still, great moment, and the one dislike should be ashamed of themselves.

  • Right down the dick...just like his policies on national security and beefing up the Clinton-ravaged intelligence structure in our country. In light of the past 3 years, and despite your contribution to our current economic state, Mr. Bush...you are missed.

  • However, I totally agree with Bush's decision to invade Afghanistan. That was necessary and appropriate.

  • The deficits under Bush reflect to a large extent imperial overreach (Exhibit A: the unnecessary war in Iraq). Obama's deficits in turn are meant to maintain the economy on life support until the private sector recovers - a Neo-Keynesian strategy. Bush inherited a unipolar world with the US on top and threw it all away on a war that lost us the respect of the world putting to waste any international goodwill gained from 9-11. People don't remember Bush for 9-11, they remember Iraq and the fabri

  • I bet the only dislike came from Bin Laden.

  • @tayeule124 *Obama

  • @tayeule124 obama kill bin laden dum bass there should be a holiday after obamam dies it should b call obamam day he is better than bush he kill sadam a bin laden and yememn terrorist leader

  • @samantha34ize if bush had not gotten us in the middle east, then we would have never gotten him. Besides, it was the CIA that did all the work. All obama did was say yeah lets get him.

  • @carsonkfranklin cheney manipulate intel senall jobs to china to recruit dum young white ppl bush lied about intel no wmd in iraq cia valeria plame told him yet he lied anyway like i said obama kill the guy bush let get away there should be a hlliday after obama 2 day of work obama day u white ppl ppl would give bush a holiday if he kill bin laden unfortunatly bush is stupid like all the 2 loser in tx (world series)

  • @samantha34ize Sadam was killed in '06 while Obama was being elected to Senate for the State of Illinois. So sorry for your retardation of history. And there is never going to be a holiday for Obama. He is nothing special to this nation at all. Unless the holiday celebrates the most money spent by a president to drop the country into the worst debt in its history and the time he leaves office, then there will be no chance for a holiday for him.

  • Great pitch. Horrible president, responsible for American's global decline.

  • @TheIgg lol i hope ur kidding

  • @TheIgg Bush ran some huge deficits. Granted. (Obama's smallest one is 300% the largest deficit of Bush). But the way he handled 9/11 and what followed was just great. I'm just very glad we had a true patriot like Bush in the WH in 2001. America will never be afraid of anyone.

  • Obama, eat your heart out!

  • I hate the NY Yankees but I was rooting for them all the way during the 2001 WS.

  • Right down the pipe....

  • The ghosts in Yankee Stadium sure can pull at the heartstrings

  • STRIKE!

    Thank-you, President Bush, and may God Bless America! =)

  • To the idiots who don't like America, or hate being American, that is your right to have your own opinion....but... why come here and bash this video or the rest of us who are proud Americans? It is a painful time of the year for many of us, and you come here and trash us and attack us? Now who is the terrorist? My own people! Best thing about America is freedom....and if you hate it, you have the FREEDOM to get the fuck out!

  • Great moment, I remember being 11 watching this and never felt so proud to be an American. The man guided us through 9/11 a lot of people forget about that.

  • I was at that game....5th grade...wow only if i could of understood it all then

  • I hated Bush, but he showed true strength going out there. It was more than just a first pitch. It was a first pitch in New York, right after the biggest tragedy the nation had ever seen, in the World Series. Millions were going to see him walk out there. It was a defiant display to the terrorists and/or our enemies. That pitch held a significance and always will for Bush. And he made it a perfect throw.

  • that was a strike! nice pitch by bush

  • Bush wasent perfect but he kept us safe after 911 and made me proud to be an American. Idk about Obama............

  • @wittkopj How did HE keep us safe, after being informed the "A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack" said from Andrew Card the Cheif of staff. Bush had a confused look on his face, then continued to read to the Florida first grade class.

    YEAH THAT GUY WAS REALLY GREAT.

  • @blunt4lyfe123 Good Lord are you that stupid? Have you been under a rock the past 10 years you inbred rube?? For the past TEN years..... everyone has known why. You don't go running like a raving lunatic in front of the kids. ( By the way, learn to spell)

  • @blunt4lyfe123 Whoa dude, you need to calm down. I said he kept us safe AFTER 9/11. He stayed calm on 9/11, like a good leader, and he didn't freak out and make the situation worse. Bush wasent a perfect president but he's a lot better than your boy in office. Plus, Bush knows how to throw a baseball much better than obama.

  • @blunt4lyfe123 I think he made the right decision regarding the children. He didn't need to go running from the classroom that would have just upset them, when in all reality even after he made the announcement to the press, the children wouldn't have understood it either. It wasn't a look of confusion, it really looked like he was trying to digest what he had just been told. Nothing like this has happened on American soil!

  • @blunt4lyfe123 your heads so far up your liberal ass you have no idea what the fuck your talking about. He didn't want to scare the children, so he quitley left the room, and then lead this nation in a fantastic way. Mr. Fuck knuckles would have ran off crying

  • @cacman1993 I see that you have 1993 in your user name, so instead of just spinning off what you here your ignorant parents blab about actually try to think how George Bush did the United States of America a favor. And if you voted for him (only the second term counts because he stole the his first election) and if god was real may he have mercy on your soul. Good day Sir!

  • My parents are liberals -_- Everything is jimmy Carter's fault, he failed to back the shaw, 20 years before i was born, so get your sit straight

  • @cacman1993 Yeah okay sure and what's your excuse for the war in Iraq? It's pointless to argue with rightwing republicans, even if it was a fact they would find a way to pin it back on us.

  • he stepped on the white line, bad luck. He should have been a little more careful and his terms as president would have probably turned out a lot better

  • No President had ever visited Yankee Stadium during the World Series? Bush is the man!

  • I can't picture Al Gore doing this...

  • @salamisumo2 I doubt Limp-Wrist Gore could even get the ball past home plate without a bounce or two.

    Kind of like Obama at the All-Star Game.

    I doubt any President past, (certainly not) present, or future will ever be able to get that kind of reaction out of Yankee Stadium, or any other MLB stadium in the country.

    Wow!

  • @bayushizero

    Who cares how he pitches.. his term in office is what mattered the most and he fouled out.

  • @computerresale no he didn't

  • @carsonkfranklin

    Yeah he did..When Dumbya left office the republican brand was "dogfood". 

  • @bayushizero

    The ability to throw a ball is obviously one of the most important aspects of the presidency. 

  • Comment removed

  • i miss that guy

  • @tkodojo2026 couldn't agree with you more

  • Best president ever!! This video gives me goosbumps! I watch it everynight b4 bed..

  • @tkodojo2026 - I agree 1000%.  thumbs up for you

  • nice curveball

  • there aren't many presidents that get a moment that goes into the history books but this one did. And he played it perfectly

  • Damn that was one of the best first pitches I have ever seen.

  • ...in all honesty, that was a good throw. :)

  • goosebumps anyone?

  • NOOOO!!!!!????

    

  • NOOOO!!!!!????

    

  • Love him or hate him, this was bad ass

  • Say what you want about Bush, but he was the worst president in the history of the WORLD!!!! You morons praising him for throwing a pitch after 9/11? Really? Really??!!!! Fuck off. He fucked up everything. And no, not everything is his fault, but two never ending wars that have nothing to do wiht anything are because of him. I wish someone would have beamed him with the ball.

  • @saroshk7784

    "He fucked up everything" and "And no, not everything is his fault." Make up your mind. He wasn't the worst president ever. You think that because he is so fresh in our minds that you don't look at the big picture.

    And maybe try to show a little respect to the man who worked tirelessly to keep our butts safe after 9/11. You may not agree on what he did or how, but the fact that we are safe is enough for me.

  • @salemgog Tirelessly kept us safe. What a great great man. You fucking retard from hell. He started a war with the wrong country. It cost america 5 billion a month every months since then. THe afghan war was on the premise that Osama bin Ladin, ONE guy was there. SO attack an entire country for ONE guy that took 10 years to get. You people might as well be in his administratoin. You have no idea what its like to know what its like to know how lives change because of war. But what a pitch, huh?

  • @saroshk7784 You deserve to be in the ground next to osama and megatron. Your a fucking moron. You act as if bush never would have attacked al-qaeda that they would have never attacked us again. Get your head out of your ass, and THINK for once

  • @cacman1993 You fucking retard from hell. hahahaha, australian retard, even better. Okay, I lived in ur retarted country for two years, and an average 25 year old there has the iq of a chimp. You being 18 makes you legally retarded. Okay, sorry dude, bush was an awesome president, and did amazing things. He got america in two wars that had nothing to do with 9/11. Wonderful man.

  • @saroshk7784 Im Austrailian? I was pretty sure i was born and raised in Florida, but your sooo wrong. Two wars that have nothing to do with 9/11? Are you drunk? 9/11 started the war, and the people that were behind it RAN TO A DIFFERENT COUNTRY. I don't understand how you dumbasses think

  • @cacman1993 alright here we go. You stupid fuck, 9/11 is the reason Bush's administration went into Iraq. He convinced people that Sadam was part of the Al-Queda network and that they had WMDs. The war cost the country 5 billion a month for the past 8 years. But sorry, he has an awesome arm. 

  • @saroshk7784 Yeah, like you would have done it any better you fucking idiot. 

  • @MsRudeboy55 Well lets see, if I had started a war with say Jordan, and taken their oil, then I would have done exactly the same as BUsh. Fuck you you whore. WHo are you to just randomly insult me? Bush started two wars on the premise of 9/11 being their fault. Turns out it wasnt. Please go read before you suck a guys balls for throwing a good pitch when the country really needed it. Stupid rednecks.

  • @saroshk7784 Bush handled his presidency very well actually, the only reason we went to war was because of 9/11 but there is no point in trying to explain anything to you when I could care less about you. But like I said you wouldn't have done it any better. And I can insult you any day any time when you did the exact same thing to me.

  • @saroshk7784 actually Jordan doesn't have alot of oil....so that is a stupid argument. The war in Afghanistan is justified because Al-Queda( however you spell that shit) was all over that country,and alot of the people there love us beacause they want the Taliban and Al-suckmyass gone.....we are doing good things while we seek out terror suspects. We got Bin Laden because of the war in A'stan. If you hate America so much...get the fuck out...go hang out over there and get beheaded dumbass!

  • great pitch, that 2001 series was one of the best in history

  • Say what you want about his Presidency... but that pitch was pimp.

  • Bush's & Obama's Was TOTALY better than beiber's.

  • obama woulda bounced it

  • @Forston22 It's called an exclamation mark you fucking dumb piece of shit. btw NICE PITCH BUSH! We miss you man!

  • Marlins won
