20 Vintage Photos of America's Sportiest Presidents

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.

1. Woodrow Wilson throwing the first pitch at a baseball game in Washington, 1916.

2. Warren G. Harding golfing in New Hampshire, 1921.

5. Harry S. Truman golfing in Key West.
