George H.W. Bush, the Astros fan, gets in a parting shot at the Texas Rangers

George H.W. Bush’s affection for baseball, and the Houston Astros, are well documented, almost on the same level as his sense of humor.

Even in death, 41 managed to get off a fun, final, parting shot at the Astros’ biggest rival, the Texas Rangers.

At the memorial service for Bush in Houston on Thursday morning, attendees were given a list of some of the notable figures who were scheduled to be there. Included on this list was Nolan Ryan, who currently serves as a senior advisor to the Houston Astros.
