Who’s on your All-Time All-Star baseball team? Listen in on a President’s picks! During a June 22, 1972 press conference, journalist Clifford Evans asked President Richard Nixon to name his favorite baseball players. President Nixon quickly listed a few key players, but Evans pressed him, “Mr. President, as the nation’s number-one baseball fan, would you be willing to name your all-time baseball team?” Asking for time to prepare a thoughtful response, President Nixon created lists of his choices for All-Time All-Star baseball teams, which were distributed via the Associated Press on June 30. On June 30, Evans returned to the White House to interview President Nixon in the White House for RKO General Broadcasting. This meeting was captured by recording devices in the Oval Office. In this conversation segment, President Nixon explains the process, methodology, and rationale for building his all-star teams: youtube/watch?v=Vdgq5spx0xQ&feature=share&list=UU00LVExPrUiWeLqQC92Ttmw
