Obama blazes his signature 20 MPH fastball.
As opposed to that darling of socialists, Fidel Castro, who was wanted by no team.
0bambi was scouted by several colleges, too. For the ladies’ cycling team.
Obama was recruited for many school “Choom Teams.” Also, college D1 bowling teams recruited him heavily, especially when his average broke 100. He was also highly sought after by the Down Low Pitchers. He is an expert “brackets” guy, too.
So Trump was recruited for only one sport, but Obama lettered in four!
The average MLB salary back then was $15,000.

I figured it was to help get their books in order for an audit or figure out why their director of operations was charging travel to Europe and charging $8,000/month for his cat’s Tender Vittles.
Ed Schultz was a star quarterback at Moorehead State and signed a pro football contract =>
“All that was needed was a spark, and the arrival in 1976 of a red-haired quarterback from Norfolk, VA changed the dynamics. Ed Schultz, a transfer from Memphis State and the University of Richmond, was sent packing to MSU by Don Pate, a onetime Dragon and later an assistant coach at Richmond.
The brash Schultz quickly became a media darling, and a 14-7 victory over Concordia College on opening day cemented him a spot in Dragon lore. In 1977 Schultz led the nation (NCAA II) in passing, while tight end Jeff Tesch (Robbinsdale) topped the nation in receiving, and both would sign professional football contracts.

Interesting... source?
Smart choice in the part of the President. Minor leagues were much larger then. He could have toiled for years for chump change and never made it to the majors. I’d say he was far more successful with the career he chose.
Fun ping.
