TexasAg1969 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Garfield was a Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Garfield was a Brown. James Garfield would certainly have been a Browns fan: He was born in Moreland Hills (Cleveland suburb) lived in Mentor, same as our next QB. https://www.nps.gov/jaga/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 As would William McKinley, born in Niles, lived in Canton. In fact, the Pro Football Hall of Fame literally sits right next to Canton McKinley High School.. And the stadium they use for the Hall of Fame Game is, literally, the Canton McKinley high school field. That is just the corner of McKinley HS there in the lower left hand corner in this aerial view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Grant and Taft and Benjamin Harrison were more from down Cincinnati way. Hayes (Delaware) and Harding (Marion) were closer to Columbus way. (Hayes attended Kenyon) Both Grant (Point Pleasant), and Ben Harrison (North Bend) wereboth literally born on the banks of the Ohio River. Grants birthplace is still there. And there is a marker for Harrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
