With the advent of the racing sausages by the Milwaukee Brewers (guess which one is chorizo), it was only time before another pro team followed suit.....
For those that have been living under a rock since 2006, the Washington Nationals baseball team have their own version known as the President's Race (complete with Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and Roosevelt).
Sadly Roosevelt still has a big fat goose egg for wins (but that's another rant all together). Fittingly on President's Day this year (in case you missed out), the presidents travelled to Long Island and decided to hold a throw down....on ice! They've upped the ante and hopefully hockey will follow this example and create their own mascot races. Sadly though, Roosevelt's streak continues but he can throw a mean hook!

What's sad is that this is more entertaining than the team the Islanders put on the ice every night.
All I want is a hockey team I can be proud to root for. All I got from this season is ice girls, intermission sumo wrestling and [now] presidential ice races.
Bad part is that the presidents are loaner presidents.
