Presidents and First Ladies Trivia

[Rogerm]

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

[Eva Elisabeth]

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?

[RJNorton]

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).

[Rogerm]

Bill Clinton?

[Gene C]

Truman ? (process of elimination)

[RJNorton]

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?

[Rogerm]

Andrew Johnson?

[RJNorton]

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

McKinley?

[Wild Bill]

William Henry Harrison

[Gene C]

Rutherford Hayes

[RJNorton]

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:
