Almost every single U.S President has some sort of connection to the game of baseball, whether it was good, bad or indifferent. From tossing the opening day first pitch, hosting teams in the Oval Office, or even receiving free lifetime passes, Presidents and baseball go together like America and apple pie. A smashing duo, that goes all the way back to the One... George Washington who was seen playing, the adopted English game of Rounders, in camp, while his colonial militia rebels were trapped by British forces at Valley Forge.
