The pair also attended game 3 of the American League Division series where the Rangers completed their sweep of the Baltimore Orioles. Both bushes received a thunderous applause after being shown on the Jumbotron of that game.

Bush served two terms as the 43rd President of the United States. Bush also has a strong connection with the Texas Rangers after purchasing a 2% stake in the club in 1989.
