Where are the other Bushes?

Doesn’t George HW Bush and Bar normally sit above the ads on behind the right handed batter’s box? They’re not there today. Considering they showed up to all the games in the last series, I don’t see why this one wouldn’t be interesting enough.

Found this interesting bit on Ortiz with the Twins:
The Minnesota Twins released designated hitter David Ortiz on Monday to make room on the roster for shortstop Jose Morban, who was selected from Texas in the major league draft. “I would’ve liked to have found a home for him,” Ryan said from Nashville. “We exhausted every avenue, but in essence it turned out to be an Ortiz-for-Morban type of thing.”
