Clinton actually had an aide approach DiMaggio to arrange a photo-op in Baltimore at the baseball game in which Cal Ripken Jr. broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive-games streak. DMaggio flatly refused, telling the aide that he would never have a photo taken with Clinton or even shake his hand off-camera.

Thanks for the background on that. Another reason to admire the Yankee Clipper.

Clinton tried to get Tiger Woods to appear in Harlem with him and Jesse Jackson, Tiger politely refused, even after an advisor told him, "you just do not turn down the POTUS" He then went on vacation to Mexico.

WHY SHOULD WE BE SUPRISED...WITH CLINTON, I MEAN DIDN'T HE TRY TO BUY HIMSELF A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE?
