George W. Bush throws out first pitch in Japan

Associated Press

TOKYO (AP) - Former President George W. Bush threw out the ceremonial first pitch Tuesday before Game 3 of the Japan Series between the Yomiuri Giants and Nippon Ham Fighters.

 

Bush, wearing a Yomiuri warmup jacket, took the mound at Tokyo Dome and threw a pitch to Giants catcher Shinnosuke Abe that bounced once in the dirt before being caught.

 

Bush chatted briefly with several players after walking off the field and watched the game in a private box with former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. Also in the box were Japanese home run king Sadaharu Oh and U.S. Ambassador John Roos.

 

The Giants won the game 7-4 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series, Japan's version of the World Series.

 

Dozens of demonstrators marched outside the stadium protesting the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that were launched by the Bush administration in 2001 and 2003, respectively. They carried signs saying, "Arrest Bush," "The King of War," and "Bush Go to Jail."

 

One demonstrator threw his shoes at a photo of the former president, mimicking Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi, who launched his own footwear at Bush at a Baghdad news conference last December.

funny, i always saw him as the half-retarded bat boy who snorts the baseline chalk, pisses on his uniform pants, trips on his cleats, and goes by the cheerful nickname of "slappy"
