In honor of President's Day (it seems that the singular form has caught on as the official spelling), here is one man's opinion of the best player whose name matches that of a president. I first look for someone with the same last name. If there are no players with last name, I will look for someone with the name as a first or middle name.
If John Edwards is the next president, we would get the first president whose first and last name match up to a former big leaguer. The same would happen with Bill Richardson.
Mitt Romney would be the first president named after a piece of equipment.
We will forget the nightmare that is Tom Vilsack or Dennis Kucinich.
I think you should make an exception for Grover Cleveland Alexander.
For the other, McCain MacBride? It's cheating, but it's the closest I can think of.

I should have noticed the Bushes having the wrong numbers!
Much better than Jesse Jefferson: 39-81, 4.81 ERA.
No one has pointed out here that there have been TWO John Kennedys.
