It’s been said life is like baseball, and that was never more apparent than Tuesday night. Brewer fans will remember that when President Bush threw out the first pitch at Miller Park, it landed about ten feet in front of home plate.

A lot of things have changed since then, none greater than our president. Many have remarked how he has grown into the job since Sept. 11, and Tuesday was certainly an indication of that growth. Well, it at least indicated he has grown into his ceremonial first-pitch role. The pitch ? a perfect strike.
