Herbert Hoover — the only Iowan elected president — is the “inventor” of Hoover-ball, a combination of tennis and volleyball, played with a medicine ball. Hoover played the game daily on the White House lawn while president (1929-33).

Herbert Hoover played sandlot baseball in his hometown of West Branch, and later played shortstop at Stanford. He became president in 1929, and threw out the first pitch at all four Washington Senators’ opening days while in office.

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight —
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!” 🎅
