Continuing with our look at shared birthdays between presidents and Cubs.
April through June
April 13 - President Thomas Jefferson and Cub John Stephenson...one of the greatest presidents and a completely unknown catcher
April 23 - President James Buchanan and Cub Dolph Camilli...no card, just a photo
April 27 - President Ulysses S. Grant and Cub Rogers Hornsby
April 28 - President James Monroe and Cub Luis Quinones
May 8 - President Harry Truman is our first Cub-free president....after that embarrassing Tribune headline, the Tribune-owned Cubs wanted nothing to do with Harry
May 29 - President John F. Kennedy and Cub Jerry Hairston....and another non Cub....
....John Kennedy. How weird is it that they share the same name and the same birthday, though the ballplayer was born 24 years after the president.
June 12 - President George H. W. Bush and Cub Damon Buford...the son of a big leaguer was born of the birthday of the father of a president
