As long as he served as president, it should have been Franklin D. Roosevelt.

My lately purchased smart children's book on the presidents mentiones that W. H. Taft started the tradition of presidents throwing out the first pitch on opening day. It doesn't say how often he attended, but maybe it was him then?

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 03-31-2014 10:50 AM

More good, logical guesses! But both incorrect. Taft is in second place with 14 games, and Roosevelt is tied for 5th with Woodrow Wilson (11 games).

Bill Clinton?

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 03-31-2014 10:56 AM

Truman ? (process of elimination)

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 03-31-2014 12:45 PM

Correct, Gene. Harry Truman attended 16 baseball games. This is more than any other president. SOURCE: USA TODAY, March 31, 2014.

Gene, you win 4 free tickets to the next Chicago Cubs' World Series game at Wrigley Field.

What is the name of this former President of the United States?

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Rogerm - 04-25-2014 08:53 AM

Andrew Johnson?

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 04-25-2014 08:58 AM

Good try, Roger, but it's not Johnson.

Yesterday I gave away free camping trips. Today the winner receives a free visit to ANY single point of interest of his/her choice in Phillips, Wisconsin.

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 04-25-2014 09:06 AM

McKinley?

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Wild Bill - 04-25-2014 09:09 AM

William Henry Harrison

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 04-25-2014 09:16 AM

Rutherford Hayes

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 04-25-2014 09:37 AM

I figured a trip to Phillips would get a flurry of responses. Gene is correct. During the years I taught I used 3 different textbooks, and the same photo of Hayes was in all three. I never really thought of him as a younger man. The Biography website has the photo that was in those textbooks:

Gene, you can go to any attraction in Phillips. Once your application is received the tickets will be sent within 10 days.

I've always wanted to visit the Wisconsin Concrete Park!
