I know Bush Sr was at Yale, but have any presidents actually played in the minors or any semi pro leagues? Just curious.

    There are a bunch of senators/congressmen who are former pro/college/minor league athletes (J.C. Watts, Jim Bunning, Steve Largent, just to name a few off the top of my head).

    I believe Taft played football at Yale, Bush Jr. played rugby at Yale (badly, I add), Gore (not a real president but close) was a benchwarmer for the Harvard basketball team I think, Gerald Ford started at center for Michigan football. I don't think Reagan played any sports but he was a baseball announcer.

    Reagan played football (guard) for his Eureak College Red Devils in the early 1930's.

    I think Mario Cuomo played in the minors for the Pirates. Other than Jim Bunning and Vinegar Bend Mizell that's the closest I've found.
