Description:This issue looks at the sports personally pursued by the presidents—before, during, and after their White House years—as well as the national pastimes they share in celebrating with the American people. With "The Fan in the White House: Presidents and the Nation’s Champions," Association President Stewart D. McLaurin presents the most iconic sports moments in White House history, writing "every sitting president is in a sense the nation’s 'first fan,' adding to the spectators’ excitement—and often making history—with a show of support. Whether it is throwing out the first pitch of the season or shaking the hands of the victors in the East Room after the final game, every moment of presidential enthusiasm for a matchup is newsworthy and reflects the passion the commander-in-chief shares with the nation for sports of every kind." Also featured are articles on presidential baseball traditions; President Grant's famous Billiard Room; Theodore Roosevelt's efforts to transform the sport of football; and the creation and legacy of Hoover Ball. Photographer Al Freni shares his memories of capturing two iconic photographs of President Eisenhower golfing and fishing with his grandson David and Quarterly Editor William Seale brings to life the story of Theodore Roosevelt's efforts to learn the self-defense art of jujitsu.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
