President Franklin Roosevelt Baseball Game Attendance Log
Franklin Roosevelt will always be remembered as the U.S. President who gave the "green light" to Major League Baseball, but the truth was he was a true fan.
Going to the games was more than a publicity trip and Baseball Magazine once wrote, "Roosevelt enjoys himself at a ball game as much as a kid on Christmas morning."
