What does "Bush League" mean? Since he mentioned "the year 1992", then does it refer to former President Bush?

"Bush league" is an informal way to refer to the minor league of a professional sport, especially baseball. It doesn't have anything to do with former President Bush. The speaker is referencing Homer Simpson's former position as "mascot" of a minor league baseball team. Ex: Homer Simpson even had a brief stint as mascot for a bush league team. Ex: My father used to play in the bush league, so he taught me baseball when I was a child.
