Nearly all of the 20th-century presidents played sports (or at least acted like they did). Some were big-time college football stars, while others were recreational golfers.

The archives are full of photos of presidents playing sports in order to connect with the common man.

Woodrow Wilson throwing the first pitch at a baseball game in Washington (1916)



Warren G. Harding golfing in New Hampshire (1921)



Herbert Hoover fishing in Mills Creek at his Rapidan Camp in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, also known as "Camp Hoover" (1932)
