Donald Trump was wanted by two pro Baseball teams.

Not only does Trump know how to play hardball in the business world and as president of the United States, but it turns out he could play with the best of them in the baseball world. President Donald Trump was heavily scouted and wanted by two pro teams when coming out of his high school military prep academy to be a pro prospect.

The Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies were keen to sign up the first basemen from NY Military Academy before he went off to college at Fordham University in 1964. From there he eventually transferred to University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business.

However, despite the keen interest, Trump turned down the two offers to pursue a baseball career because “He chose real money over baseball money.

Now, Go back to sleep "Never Trumpers"!!

Besides having the rifle pointed at his head. Yeah there is no magazine but a round could be in the chamber. This is 101 of what not to do ever. Just in case there is a round in the chamber.

Old Al seems to have winter gear on too in Vietnam which I thought is hot all year around? Maybe I am wrong?

Don’t forget Al Gore’s penis visible through his pants on the cover of Rolling Stone.

I’m sure that was just an honest mistake.

Yuck!

Smart choice in the part of the President. Minor leagues were much larger then. He could have toiled for years for chump change and never made it to the majors. I’d say he was far more successful with the career he chose.

It seems he was scouted, not necessarily offered a contract.

Oh yeah, I remember when he strode right up to Bush and got in his face. Bush was trying not to laugh at him. What’s he going to do, slug him? And Gore doing anything is about as alpha as Kerry throwing a football or Obama on a bike.

Judging by Kerry’s expression, this is after the ejected shell bounced off his face.

Yep. Too bad there’s no video, I’ll bet he’s all shaky and going so slow that he can’t keep the front wheel straight.
