The interesting thing is that it seems like George W. Bush would have been happy being the president of anything. He could have been president of Major League Baseball.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All I ever wanted to be was president of the American League.
I don't feel I could've played major league baseball.
Baseball was the darling of all sports back then.
I think I could have become an outstanding professional baseball player, but I don't think I could have reached the heights that I have in football - being one of the very top players in the game, being a world champion.
I don't care what you do - baseball or politics - George W. Bush is always going to be compared to his father. I just want it to be an easy answer in 50 years - Who was the better player, me, or my kids? I want it to be my kids.
I always wanted to be a major-league baseball player.
As a kid, before I could play music, I remember baseball being the one thing that could always make me happy.
If I had any interest in coming back to baseball, it would be as a general manager and not as a manager.
I always thought that there was going to be life after baseball, and so I designed that in my life I would have other interests after baseball that I would be able to step into. And I didn't realize the grip that baseball had on me and on my family.
I wonder why there is a designated hitter in baseball after all these years? As an experiment, it seemed like a swell enough idea, but you would think the novelty would have worn off by now and everyone would get back to playing baseball.
