Like many boys of his generation, Bush daydreamed about being a major league ballplayer. Texas generally and Midland, in particular, is known for football, but baseball was young George's passion. In 2000, at a time when his presidential race against Al Gore had tightened to a virtual dead heat, Bush appeared on Oprah Winfrey's show and agreed to answer an impromptu quiz on things like his favorite food and best song. He hesitated in answering some of the questions—but not the one about his "fondest" childhood memory. "Little League baseball in Midland," he replied. This was the game of his father and grandfather, and when it came to baseball his father made time for him. Georgie played three years for the Central Midland Cubs with Big George as the manager. Later, at Yale, Bush would not match the diamond exploits of his father or grandfather—he would never rise above the level of relief pitcher on the junior varsity team—but as a Little League catcher he was good enough to make the Midland All-Star team. Forty years later, Austine Crosby, a retired Sam Houston Elementary School teacher, recalled how young Bush organized games at recess, mitt in hand. "He was a nice boy, one you remember, and always a help to me in the room," she said. "He was always ready to play baseball. He'd round up the other boys, get a game going. He was quite the organizer." Bush also was a junior varsity basketball player at Andover, though not a good one. "He played guard and he could only dribble with his right hand," one teammate, Richard W. Clapp later quipped to ESPN. "It was easy to defend him because he could only go to his right. It's my contention that he's still the same—politically." |

It's my contention that he's still the same—politically." 像很多同龄的男孩子一样，乔治布什小时候也梦想着成为美国全国棒球协会和盟国棒球协会的球手。德克萨斯州尤其是内地一向都是足球著名，而棒球却是年轻的乔治的最爱。2000年，布什与戈尔参加总统竞选，双方势均力敌的时候，布什参加了Oprah Winfrey 秀，并回答了关于他喜欢的食物和歌曲的即兴测验。在回答某些问题的时候，他有些迟疑。但是当被问及童年最美好的记忆时，他毫不犹豫的回答“内地小棒球联盟”。棒球也是他父亲和祖父喜欢的运动，当孩提时的乔治开始接触棒球的时候，父亲总会抽出时间陪他一起打棒球。 乔治在中心内地俱乐部玩了三年的棒球，那时候大戈尔是俱乐部的经理。后来在耶鲁的时候，布什的棒球技术与父亲或祖父出色的棒球技术相比非常逊色。在大学运动第二队，他也不可能超过本身替补投手的水平，但作为一名小联盟接球手，乔治为团队成为内地全明星球队做得已经相当好了。Austine Crosby是萨姆休斯顿小学退休教师。40年之后的今天，她依然能回忆起在休息的时候，手上还套着棒球手套的小布什想着如何组织比赛的事，她说，“乔治时刻都做好的打棒球的准备，他组织其他孩子一起开展棒球比赛。他是一个非常出色的组织者。”在安度佛，布什也是大学第二运动队的球员，不过也只是一名普通球员。“他打防守，并且只会用右手带球”Richard W. Clapp，乔治的一名队友，后来在体育娱乐广播网中调侃道，“进攻乔治比较容易，因为他只会用右手带球，也只会在他的右侧跑。我认为乔治在政治上也是如此” |
