Honest Abe is kind of a bastard.
One new tradition that seems to have caught on among baseball fans is the "Presidents Race" during the fourth inning of Washington Nationals games.
This tradition has one gimmick: Teddy Roosevelt loses a lot — often in dramatic fashion. So for Teddy this "fun" race becomes a sick, twisted mental and physical challenge that has ruined his self-esteem. Basically, he still speaks softly, but now he merely carries a twig.
