Ex-Twin Randy Bush, the 1980s reserve outfielder who seemed to hit a home run at every Twins game I went to as a kid, is a New Orleans resident who now works as a scout for the Cubs. Interviewed by the Strib’s Patrick Reusse, Bush expressed gratitude that the Saints have returned to New Orleans, and also that they drafted Reggie Bush. Reggie, Randy said, wears #25, which was Randy’s number with the Twins, and he proudly wears a Bush Saints jersey.
That’s great for Randy, because it certainly must not have been easy for the last few years to have that last name. Especially in New Orleans.
Homer Bush could not be reached for comment.
