Default A really good read re George H. W. Bush

I assume everyone knows that President George H. W. Bush was a sports enthusiast. With his passing, much is being written about him. Regardless of your political leaning, I am absolutely positive you will greatly enjoy this piece in today's Washington Post written by Thomas Boswell, the dean of DC's sports writers and one of the best.

Leon, if I have put this in the wrong forum, please move it to the correct one.

I also posted on George H.W. Bush and his baseball career on my website. I included him in my book a few years ago, and he sent me a really nice letter along with a signed photo of he and Babe Ruth from 1948. You can see those items along with my drawing of him at:

The famous picture of him in a Yale baseball uniform, from 1948, was made into a baseball card, and I believe it is pretty valuable (I don't know the details, I assume it is scarce).

The 1990 Topps, they were made only for the White House:
