WASHINGTON -- President George H.W. Bush's casket received visits from recognizable sports icons, some of whom he welcomed to the White House during his administration.



On Tuesday, athletic and coaching figures, including Peyton Manning, Phil Mickelson, Albert Pujols and Mike Kzyzewski, stood in reverence to the president's casket.



President Bush's body is lying in state inside the Capitol Rotunda.
