I voted but we'll never see Obama on the leader board. There's a little disclaimer that says only players with a legitimate chance of winning the Heisman will be added to the leader board.

I'll cast my vote for Michelle Obama. She looks like she could have a pair of cojones on her.

Hey, lets get him in the Basketball HOF! He does like to play Basketball after all! And while we're at it, how about the WWE Hall of Fame? He did appear on RAW last year after all.

He's got to have thrown out a first pitch by now. I say we nominate him for the Cy Young.

I think he won that already...

COOPERSTOWN, NY — The Baseball Writers Association of America has just named Barack Obama the winner of this year’s Cy Young Award. In fact, in an unprecedented move, the Association has handed the President the award in both leagues citing his work in forging a post-League era. In the past Obama has called the two leagues ‘divisive to the nation.’

The BBWAA said Obama’s first pitch at this year’s All-Star Game in the new Yankee Stadium was a landmark moment in the game. They cited his new pitch, now known as The Flop, as ‘revolutionary and transformative.’ Bud Selig was quoted as saying, ‘It didn’t matter if it wasn’t a strike. Like any good pitcher, it’s the illusion of a strike, an ability to fool the hitter, that matters most.’

Word is that Commissioner Selig is considering Obama for the Hall of Fame and may retire the #44 throughout baseball. Such an honor would make Obama the second baseball player in baseball history, along with Jackie Robinson, to have his number retired league-wide.

Some in baseball, though, are questioning the merits of MLB bestowing such honors on Obama. At his blog 38 Pitches, former big leaguer Curt Schilling said the whole thing was “(bleeped) up” and promised to run in 2012. Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo reportedly had a complete meltdown on his radio show: “(cackling) What are they, nuts!’…(cackling) ‘What are they nuts!’ (laughing). And Jose Canseco, via Twitter, said in his next book - preliminarily titled The Audacity of Juice! - that he had information that Obama was actually on steroids when he threw out the first pitch.

Meanwhile, Obama accepted the honor unhesitatingly. In a statement in the Rose Garden, Obama said he hoped the AL and NL would now be able to move forward to a new day of ‘mutual interest and mutual respect’ and that ’no league should ever be considered better than another.’ Obama also continued to take on baseball’s third rail - the Designated Hitter. Obama said it was unfair for pitchers to have to both pitch and hit. When asked if the DH was just ‘welfare for pitchers’ the President said the time had come to ’spread the at-bats around’ and that the DH helped ‘create more jobs.’ He also said he hoped that ‘one day baseball could rise above being just a game of winners and losers and that one day the league would stop keeping score altogether.’
