Red Sox at the White House

Bush, a former owner of the Texas Rangers, had a lot of supporters and a few detractors in the lineup. Pitcher Curt Schilling, who presented him with a white baseball jersey emblazoned with his name and the number 43, campaigned for Bush.
Catcher Jason Varitek had a red jersey bearing the number 2 for Vice President Dick Cheney.
Red Sox principal owner John Henry and general manager Theo Epstein both supported Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, a Massachusetts senator who showed up a bit late for the ceremony. Also in the audience was Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, a Democrat, whose city hosted the Democratic convention last summer.

A bit late? Hard to imagine seeing as he is such a big Sox fan. Wonder how often he'll be spotted at Fenway this year.
