"It seems President Reagan ended FDR's tradition of telephoning sports winners."

What year does it seem he did that?...here's his call to Sparky Anderson after the 1984 World Series...

From what I read, President Reagan quit making calls in 1986. But President Obama made a call to the Giants last fall, so that negates my point anyway. But now, the photo-op with the winning team is the big deal which is fine with me. The phone calls were always contrived and painful to listen to.
