Benjamin Harrison was the 23rd President of the United States, serving from 1889 to 1893. He was the first man to attend a major league baseball game while President. On June 6, 1892, he saw the Washington Senators lose to the Cincinnati Reds. He attended another game on June 25th, but the Senators lost again, this time to the Philadelphia Phillies. Later that year, Harrison's losing streak continued as he lost his reelection bid to Grover Cleveland.
