@us_presidential_archive: George W. Bush takes the mound in a defining moment after 9/11. On October 30, 2001, just seven weeks after the September 11 attacks, Bush stepped onto the mound at Yankee Stadium before Game 3 of the World Series between the New York Yankees and Arizona Diamondbacks. For a city still recovering from the attacks, the presidential appearance carried meaning far beyond baseball. The moment became an enduring symbol of American resolve and unity. Source: George W.
