George W. Bush: “Buck O'Neil represented the best of America's national pastime.”

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.
