Washington Nationals President Tony Tavares dined Monday night with one of the town's biggest baseball fans: President Bush. Tavares was joined at the White House by Omar Minaya, general manager of the New York Mets, who worked in the Texas Rangers organization when Bush owned that team. "He's really into baseball, and it was just terrific," Tavares told The Post's Barry Svrluga. "Whether you're for him or against him, he was as good in a small group as you can be."
