Herbert Hoover, the nation's 31st president, has joined the Washington Nationals as the newest of the "racing presidents" at Nats home games.

Hoover once said baseball was the greatest of all team sports.

Hoover joins the other racing presidents -- George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and William Taft -- and won his debut race on Sunday during the Nats' game against the Miami Marlins.

According to the Washington Post, Calvin Coolidge, who was introduced in July 2015, was only a visiting racer, not a permanent addition to the squad.
