A Fun Factoid

I'll bet you didn't know the young Donald Trump was recruited by major league baseball teams as a first-baseman at New York Military Academy. The Washington Examiner has the story, part of a review of a book which includes that vignette.

In the new “The Presidents and the Pastime,” noted sports author Curt Smith writes that both the Philadelphia Phillies and Boston Red Sox tried to grab Trump before going to college. Each time he said no, or as Smith wrote, “He chose ‘real money’ over baseball money.”

First base is a tough position. It doesn't sound like the young Joe Biden could have taken him.
