Nixon made headlines when on June 22 1972 a reporter covering the upcoming national election asked the President to name his all-time favorite ballplayers. Nixon's long list of great players inspired the reporter to make a unique request: the first ever presidential All-Star team. With the assistance of his son-in-law David Eisenhower Nixon put together the team and it appeared in national newspapers on June 30 1972. American baseball legend Joe DiMaggio is widely considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time and is best known for his 56-game hitting streak May 15 - July 16 1941 a record that still stands.

19811882Washington DC: The White House 1981. Framed. Fine. White House Photograph signed by President Ronald Reagan Jimmy Carter Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon. With the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat there was concern that sending a sitting United States President would be too dangerous. Protocol demanded that a high level delegation from the United States was needed for the trip but sending less senior officials would be viewed as a lack of engagement by the United States. Secretary of State Alexander Haig suggested that the 3 former living Presidents attend which all three accepted. With Richard Nixon in political exile since Watergate President Carter having just lost an election and President Ford getting pressure from his family to avoid dangerous situations all three had their reasons not to attend. This trip also marked a thawing in relations between the living former presidents with President Carter and President Ford striking up a lifelong friendship afterwards. This photograph marked the first time that 4 sitting Presidents had joined together at the White House. Photograph signed by President Ronald Reagan along with former presidents Jimmy Carter Gerald R. Ford and Richard Nixon. Framed in contemporary black frame gold edge museum archival glass.
