@paulgoldberger Bush was also the lone owner (I'm doing this from memory) who opposed expanding the playoffs to include wildcard teams. Having once interviewed Bush on baseball, I know he reveres the game and its traditions. — PolitiTweet.org

A serious proposal: Both the owners and the players should ask George W. Bush to take over as interim baseball commissioner. Whatever you think of his presidency, he was a great owner of the Rangers and supported Fay Vincent when the other owners ousted him. — PolitiTweet.org

@R_Ephemeral Because Bush cares about the game and his reputation more than he cares about other people's money. Also, Bush is the one figure who would have the clout to get the owners to behave rationally and also negotiate a new contract at the end of 2021. — PolitiTweet.org
