President George W. Bush -- 2001
Defense was the specialty of George W. Bush when he played in the Central Little League of Midland, Texas, during the 1950s and he has cited Little League as providing his fondest childhood memory. After attending Yale University and Harvard Business School, he served as an F-102 pilot for the Texas Air National Guard, then moved into the energy business from 1975 until 1986. After working on this fathers successful 1988 presidential campaign, he led a group that purchased the Texas Rangers baseball franchise in 1989. He was elected the 46th Governor of Texas in 1994 and was re-elected in 1998. In 2000, he became the first Little League graduate elected President of the United States. His Tee Ball on the South Lawn program was launched in May 2001, giving Little Leaguers a chance to play ball on the grounds of the White House. Check out this link for other hall of famers.
