President Richard Nixon Baseball Game Attendance Log
Richard Nixon would have to be on or near the top of the list of serious Presidential baseball fans. Dick Young, a sportswriter for the New York Daily News, summed it up quite well when he wrote, "This isn't a guy that shows up at season openers to take bows and get his picture in the paper and has to have his secretary of state tell him where first base is. This man knows baseball."
