Kennedy vs. Nixon - A Kellogg's Card Perspective

John F. Kennedy died on this day in 1963.  I don't remember the event but I've heard about it frequently from older relatives.

As of 2014, only six players named Nixon played in the majors - Otis, Donell and Trot played most recently.  22 players named Kennedy managed to make the big leagues including two named John.  One John Kennedy was an active big leaguer when the president died.

There have been 718 players who appeared in the majors for only one day.  Three of them are named Johnson.  Millers lead the list with eight players appearing only one day.

No players named Kennedy or Nixon appeared on a Kellogg's card.  So, who wins.  Let's go to the vice presidential candidates.  Kennedy had Johnson running with him while Nixon's sidekick was Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.

No MLB players have had the last name of either Cabot or Lodge.  There have been 110 named Johnson.  Five of them found themselves on a Kellogg's card - Alex, Davey, John Henry, Tom and Walter.

Winner - Kennedy and Johnson
