Abe Lincoln A Phillie?

Abraham Lincoln actually did play for the Phillies.  He made is debut as a catcher in 1883.  Now if you are an educated person you are thinking Lincoln got GOT in 1861.  Well true, this Phillie was Abraham Lincoln Wolsenholme, we trade Cy Young Award winners, All-Stars, and Gold Glovers why would we ever have President Abraham Lincoln.  We obviously get the Lincoln that goes 1-for-11 his first and only season in the show.  However, this dude was a little more connected to the Pres than just a name.  He was born March 4, 1861, the same day Lincoln became the 16th President.  He also passed on his birthday in 1916 in Philly, a mere 150 miles from Ford's Theatre.
