Official: George W. Bush Tossing Out First Pitch at OSU’s Grand Opening

As Bill Haisten first reported a few weeks ago, George W. Bush is coming to Stillwater to help christen OSU’s new baseball stadium on March 20.

Oklahoma State made that official last week with a press release. O’Brate Stadium will officially open with a 6 p.m. game against TCU following a first pitch from W, who is familiar with first pitches. It’s a coup to get any former president in the house and should add to the already-building excitement for the new stadium.

Cecil O’Brate, who the stadium is named for after he donated $35 million to the project, talked recently about this excitement.
