George W. Bush revealed the most nervous moment of his presidency in an HBO documentary about 9/11 that aired Sunday.
It wasn't when he learned the World Trade Center was hit or when he realized al Qaeda was behind the attack. The moment didn't even occur on September 11th, 2001.
Throwing the opening pitch in the third game of the 2001 World Series was Bush's most worried moment.
"It was the most nervous I had ever been," he said. "It was the most nervous moment of my entire presidency, it turns out."
He'd thrown out pitches before, but all eyes were on the Yankees-Diamondbacks series, which occurred just weeks after the attacks.
"The adrenaline was coursing through my veins, and the ball felt like a shotput," he said.
Yankees' shortstop Derek Jeter offered no help.
"Don't bounce it, they'll boo you," Bush remembers him saying.
Thankfully, he managed to overcome the stress.
"I took a deep breath and threw it," he said.
A truly great moment in American history.

Shouldn't it be a good thing that we had a president who could be calm in the face of uncertainty?

He's a great athlete. He shouldn't have been worried at all. Why, just look how well he dodges shoes...

@Lyre: Not really sure that he was calm at those other moments. It's just that this happened to be his most nerve-wrecking one.
