For the first time as an active big leaguer, Bush, 31, will walk into Petco Park. He arrives as a relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers, not as a shortstop for the Padres. The Mission Bay High alumnus returns as a recovering alcoholic and former prison inmate. When he enters the visiting bullpen wearing Trevor Hoffman’s number — 51 — he'll be armed with a 98-miles-per-hour fastball, a reconstructed right elbow and the routines of the 12-step recovery program.
