At Baseball Ball
Nixon Had Best Time
By MILTON RICHMAN
UPI Sports Writer
WASHINGTON (UPI) —Rich
ard M. Nixon likes to needle a
little.
He found a time prime target
in Lefty Grove, officially
designated the greatest left
handed pitcher in history and
the type of performer whose
annual season record generally
was something like 28 and 2.
“Why did you lose so many
games?” the president asked
the white-haired 69-year-old ex-
Philadelphia and Boston ace,
possibly having been tipped off
that Grove was especially
sensitive about every single
defeat in his hey-day.
Proud as always, Lefty
Grove, all six-feet-three of him,
raised tall and came right back
with:
"It wasn’t me; it was the
other eight guys. You’d have to
ask them.”
The president laughed hearti
ly.
The East Room of the White
House isn’t ordinarily given
over to a dance but the people
in baseball had a ball there
Tuesday, a few hours before
the All-Star game was rained
out and moved up to today.
In a remarkable display of
hospitality, cordiality and pa
tience, Richard Nixon stood at
the head of the receiving line
along with Bowie Kuhn, the
baseball commissioner, for
almost an hour and greeted
nearly 400 various baseball
personalities.
The guests included Joe
DiMaggio. Mrs. Babe Ruth,
Casey Stengel, Tom Seaver,
Ted Williams, Ron Santo, Mike
Andrews and Jerry Koosman—
along with hundreds of others.
Few larger receptions ever
have been held in the East
Room.
“Do you think this was the
biggest one ever here?”
someone asked Herb Klein, the
p r e s 1 dent's communications
director.
“I don’t know about that, but
I think he had the most fun at
this one,” Klein replied.
Nixon smiled and looked

happy throughout all the
introductions and he had a
word for virtually everyone
with whom he shook hands.
When Joe DiMaggio stepped
up, the president spoke with
him about Reggie Jackson, the
red-hot home run slugger with
the Oakland A’s for whom Joe
D. is a coach.
"You’re doing a good job
teaching that fellow how to
hit,” the president said to
DiMaggio.
“No, I’m not,” Joe said.
"He’s doing ft all on his own.”
Richard Nixon showed he
followed all the clubs, even
Montreal’s expansion Expos,
mired deep in the National
League’s East basement.
Gene Mauch, their manager,
came along to shake hands and
the president told him:
“Stay with ’em. Get a little
more pitching and you’ll be
all right.”
Nixon displayed particular
sympathy with the managers.
He spoke at some length with
Bob Skinner, the Phillies’
skipper, and told him that such
stars as Richie Allen and the
Jets’ Joe Namath should never
leave baseball or football for '
something else because they :
"need the fu 1 f 111 me nt of
sports.”
When Jim Lonborg, the Red :
Sox’ pitcher stepped up, Nixon ;
said:
“It’s nice to meet another
Californian. How’s the leg?”
To Jim Campbell, Detroit’s (
general manager, he said, “I (
hope you get back up there ,
again,” and when Frank !
Cashen, Baltimore’s executive '
vice-president was introduced, .
Nixon grinned and offered”: , ‘
“You have nothing to worry ;
about.”
Cashen, taken aback for an
instant, replied: “Oh yes, I do." *
The president greeted Seaver 1
this way: "Oh, I know you. You
were a good pitcher even
before the Mets were good.”
He told Mrs. Babe Ruth, his
wife still had an autographed
picture of the Babe and he
mentioned to Mrs. Lou Gehrig
he had once seen her husband

play in a previous All-Star
game.
Ford Frick, who used to be
baseball commissioner, also
was at the reception which was
held in conjunction with the
game’s 100th anniversary. He
has been a guest in the White
House previously, but he said
he never saw anything like this
before.
"The president practically
turned over the white house to
baseball,” Frick said. "I don’t
believe anything like this ever
happened before.”
It never had.
Richard Nixon, the man
responsible for it, had the best
time of all.
