The family was waiting outside the baseball clubhouse before a spring training game between the Houston Astros and L.A. Dodgers in hopes of getting some autographs but their attention quickly shifted when former president George Bush and an entourage of security walked up nearby. The family was unaware that Bush was there to see the game and throw out the opening pitch.
