<p> No longer welcome on treaties or tax bills, the name GEORGE
BUSH still means something on the pages of the Sporting News.
Over the past few months the managing editor of the weekly,
based in St. Louis, Missouri, has been trying to persuade the
former Yale first baseman to write for the paper. Last week,
to the surprise of subscribers, the ex-President appeared as
a guest columnist. In a piece that begins, "Well, as a little
kid, I hated broccoli, but I loved baseball," Bush waxes nostalgic
about his lifelong passion for America's favorite pastime. "What
I haven't lost is the `feeling,"' he writes. Even though "my
participation is now limited to throwing out the first pitch
on Opening Day or eating a Dome Dog in the Astrodome." Payment
for his inspired prose will consist of a donation to the charity
of his choice.
