I was at the Hall of Fame for some meetings Sunday-Tuesday of this week and they told me he is the first sitting President to make a visit to the Hall. I would have guessed it had happened before now, but it's interesting trivia.

They've said first since Martin Van Buren, but he lived across the state and maybe was out of office....

Speech over. At opening he claimed he was there to scout it out of another Chicago legend, Frank Thomas. Also said Andre Dawkins in crowd. And said wife had retired those "Mom jeans" he wore in that lampooned photo when he threw out a first pitch...

OK, I guess I'm just having one of those days when everything is eluding me and/or I'm a little bit grumpy, but how did Martin van Buren, who died in 1862, ever visit the Baseball Hall of Fame, whose museum was constructed in 1939?
