Re: US Presidents and baseball
I don't know about FDR's input, but there were numerous tours of Japan by squads of Major Leaguers in the '20s and '30s - most notably, the 1934 All-Star Tour, which included Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx and many other big names. The Japanese teams didn't fare too well against those American teams, naturally, but they kept welcoming the opportunity to try again.
