Players for President

[Tyrus4189Cobb]

In light of the elections ending, which guys would you choose for president since 1872 (an election year)? Men with charm, charisma, intellect, and great communication skills. Only two rules: people can only serve maximum 8 years and must have been playing or managing in the MLB during the years you choose. Feel free to add other stuff like vice presidents.

1872-1876: Jim O'Rourke
1880-1888: Monte Ward
1888-1892: Wilbert Robinson
1892-1896: Connie Mack
1896-1900: ? (Mack again?)
1900-1908: Christy Mathewson
1908-1916: Eddie Collins
1916-1920: ?
1920-1928: Frankie Frisch?
1928-1936: Mickey Cochrane
1936-1940: Bill Dickey?
1940-1944: ?
1948-1956: Phil Rizzuto
1956-1964: Gil Hodges
1964-1968: ?
1968-1976: Don Sutton?

1992-1996: Greg Maddux
1996-2000: Joe Torre
2000-2004: Greg Maddux
2004-2012: Derek Jeter

This is done in haste. Feel free to refute me

Steve Garvey looked like he was always ready to run for office back in the 70's. Jim Palmer and Tom Seaver would also have been good candidates. And everybody loved Willie Stargell.

I never thought of Greg Maddux as the Grover Cleveland of MLB.

Maybe Grover Cleveland Alexander should be the guy getting two terms!

I would have voted Charlie Gehringer over Mickey Cochrane.

I think Joe Maddon could make a good president for the 21st century.

And since Nolan Ryan pitched for decades, you could put him in from 1976 to 1992.

Gehringer had zero charisma
