As Americans cast their votes for the nation's 45th president on Election Day Nov. 8, there's only one thing for a baseball writer to do: form an all-time Orioles roster made solely of players who have the same last names as U.S. presidents, naturally.
Starting at the top, the country's first president, George Washington, has one namesake in O's franchise history: outfielder Ron Washington, who appeared in 26 games for the 1987 Orioles and later managed the Texas Rangers. And if you're thinking, "Hmm, that's not a very memorable Oriole," well … get used to it. That's going to be a recurring theme for this list. Case in point -- President John Adams yields infielder Bobby Adams, a one-year Oriole from 1956. If you have any memories of him, you are truly an Orioles super-fan.
