Former US President, George W. Bush could have been MLB Commissioner instead of him, Bud Selig reveals

  • by

Back in the early to mid-1990s, former US President George W. Bush was in the running to become the ninth MLB Commissioner in place of Bud Selig. At the time, Bush was the co-owner of the Texas Rangers.

His career began when he assisted his father in running for President in 1988, as the son of another US President, George HW Bush. Right after that, he became interested in owning the Texas Rangers.
