It’s one of those random moments that happen so quickly that it becomes an “if you blinked, you missed it” event. That’s what happened Wednesday night to Fox Sports Southwest reporter Emily Jones during the Philadelphia-Phillies Texas Rangers game.
As Jones was making her report, who but the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush walked behind her and said, “Hey!” Jones was so focused that she didn’t realize that she was being photobombed by a former Head of State:

But Jones wasn’t fazed and was quite happy to have Bush 43 on-screen with her for a second:
My most favorite photo bomb ever! https://t.co/RUyKrjeT3z

GWB was a managing general partner of the Texas Rangers from 1989 through 1994 and was instrumental in getting the Globe Life Park at Arlington built. Of course, he remains a fan as evidenced by his photobombing of Jones.
