All-Time Presidential Last Name 25 Man Roster
| 18

by Manny Stiles
Like other all-time rosters and probably a dumber reason to make a roster than most of the teams but here it is anyway.
It's another quirky roster brought to you by Manny Stiles. Last names of the players are also last names of U.S. Presidents. There was no need for a Vice Presidential roster as many of the names would be the same - unless Sandy Koufax was acceptable for a Schuyler Colfax submission...
Anyway, there are a TON of players who were named after Presidents - Jackie Roosevelt Robinson, Wes Polk Chamberlain, TONS of Arthurs, Theodore Roosevelt Lilly, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Derrel "Bud" McKinley Harrelson and my personal favorite, former All-Star Calvin Coolidge Julius Caesar Tuskahoma "Buster" McLish.
However, only players with last names matching President's last names were eligible for my roster:
