Richard Nixon, Baseball Fan
The thirty-seventh president of the United States,
Richard Nixon, was a diehard baseball fan and fond
of receiving world championship teams at the White
House. (When Nixon lost his bid for the presidency
against John F. Kennedy in 1960, he was reportedly
offered the job of baseball Commissioner.)
This letter, written to Yankee president Dan Topping,
was written during Nixon's first term as Vice President.
