‘Bays Ball’ Is Too Far Out in Left Field for Bush to See Game
List President Bush as doubtful for this year’s World Series.
Bush, an avid baseball fan who played at Yale and still keeps his college mitt in his desk, had said earlier he hoped to attend one of the games.

The first Bay Area World Series opens Saturday night in the Oakland Coliseum, home of the American League champion A’s.
