U.S. Presidents - John F. Kennedy Commemorative Baseball

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was elected President in 1961, at a time when America was in turmoil. The Cold War was at a fevered pitch and conflict in Southeast Asia seemed inevitable; while at home, civil rights and poverty threatened to tear apart the nation from the inside. With an iron will and a cool demeanor, JFK led the nation over these obstacles and toward a brighter future. His distinguished Presidency ended on November 22, 1963, when he was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Today, more than 50 years after his untimely death, John F. Kennedy is still regarded as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.

A decorated war hero, Pulitzer Prize winning author, humanitarian, and U.S. Senator, John F. Kennedy brought a new, youthful spirit to the White House. As President, he led the fight for freedom and civil rights from Berlin to Vietnam to Cuba and here at home. He established the Peace Corps and supported America's space exploration, vowing to put a man on themoon.
