Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was the tallest president America has ever had? He was 6’4″, and he actually used his impressive height to his advantage. Sources say that he was a very good wrestler when he was younger, and he was only once defeated.

Some people say that his strong-fitting attitude wasn’t only available in the ring because he used it in political matters too. For instance, one time he was challenged by a political opponent to a duel, and Mr. Lincoln only accepted it if they were to fight with broadswords. The good thing is that the fight didn’t actually happen, so we can’t say what would’ve happened otherwise.

  1. Kennedy was my favorite. To this day I read or watch everything published on Kennedy and Jackie.

  2. Wasn’t it George H.W. Bush who was the good baseball player? As I recall the stories, Bush Senior played first base for the Yale team that went to the College World Series and that played against Cal.
