Celebrate Presidents' Day with every presidential first pitch since FDR's

Admittedly, a killer fastball isn't a strict job requirement of the nation's highest office -- but maybe it should be. Who wouldn't rather watch an inter-party playoff game than an umpteenth primary debate? In honor of this most presidential of holidays, we present to you each of our commanders-in-chief since FDR throwing a pitch ... some with better form than others. 

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Harry S. Truman (The "S" stands for "strikeout.")

Dwight Eisenhower

John F. Kennedy

Lyndon Johnson

Richard Nixon

Gerald Ford

Jimmy Carter

Ronald Reagan

(Fun facts: in his Hollywood days, Reagan starred as Hall of Fame pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander in 1952's The Winning Team, and back in the 1930s, he announced Cubs games on the radio.)

George H. W. Bush

Bill Clinton

George W. Bush

(You're no doubt aware that Dubya was a co-owner of the Texas Rangers, but did you know that he also instituted a T-ball league on the White House South Lawn?)

Barack Obama
