A choice collectible for the Bush supporter and Rangers fan alike, this Rawlings official American League (Brown) baseball has been handsomely signed along the side panel in blue ballpoint pen ink, with President Bush adding "Texas Rangers" along with his autograph. Serving as co-owner and managing partner of the Texas Rangers in the early 1990s when this ball was signed, Bush's association with the sport prior to his presidency make his signed baseballs some of the most sought after of modern presidents. However, given Bush's reclusive nature in his post presidency, very few authentic signed baseballs have been seen in the hobby. Among those select few to emerge, this specimen certainly stands as one of the more desirable. A couple trivial toning spots and some minor foxing on the first letter of the signature (see images), otherwise fine. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
