Former President George W. Bush<\/u><\/a> will throw out the ceremonial first pitch for Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night as his former team faces off against the Arizona Diamondbacks with hopes of winning the franchise\u2019s first title.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The former Republican president is no stranger to the pitcher\u2019s mound, having thrown the ceremonial pitch three other times at the World Series.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

However, Friday\u2019s game will be his first time doing so before an opener, and it will be at home before a team he used to own.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1989, Bush led a group of investors to purchase the Texas Rangers<\/u><\/a> and served as managing general partner before eventually being succeeded by American businessman and politician J. Thomas Schieffer in 1994.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The group later sold the team in 1998 to Thomas Hicks, who sold the Rangers to the current ownership group headed by Ray Davis in 2010.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of the four occasions, Bush\u2019s most significant pitch was before Game 3 of the 2001 World Series at Yankee Stadium<\/u><\/a> between New York and Arizona. More than a month after the nation was devastated by the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, Major League Baseball had made the decision to resume the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bush, wearing a bulletproof vest underneath an FDNY sweater, was met by a roaring crowd when he walked on the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He then executed the perfect pitch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Don\u2019t bounce it, they will boo you,” Bush later recalled the advice he received from Derek Jeter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s game will mark the Rangers and Diamondbacks<\/u><\/a> fifth meeting this season. Arizona leads the season series 3-1.<\/p>\n

Game 1 will begin at 8:03 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on FOX.\u00a0<\/p>\n
