Almost six months after their improbable run to the National Championship, members of the Fresno State Bulldogs National Championship baseball team met with President Bush at the White House yesterday afternoon.
The President touted the Bulldogs as "a team that refused to quit," adding "I suspect some wrote you off … I thank you for your willingness to never say die, your willingness to keep fighting."
Bush is a big baseball fan, as noted by Bulldog pitcher Brandon Burke, "He's a big baseball guy, he knows how it is." Bush was the managing General Manager of the Texas Rangers from April 1989 until he decided to run for governor in 1994. He was one of those responsible for the building of, what is today, Rangers Ballpark in Arlington which broke ground on October 30, 1991.
