 A William Howard Taft mascot also raced from 2013 to 2016, as did a Calvin Coolidge mascot in 2015 and a Herbert Hoover mascot in 2016; as of 2017, the Taft, Coolidge, and Hoover mascots had "retired to Florida" to race only in Nationals spring training games.As a running joke, Teddy Roosevelt did not win from the beginning of the Presidents Race in 2006 until the Nationals made the playoffs for the first time in 2012.Like the Milwaukee Sausages, the Presidents also had a rivalry with the Pierogies.
