I like the Taft idea… it would be great to have a president in our HOF… add some class to this place.<br />
<br />
Taft was mentioned in a email I got before we started the bboard nomination method. The first thing I found when I did a little research was this:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Alphonso Taft’s wife, the former Louise Torrey, wrote of her son William a few weeks after he was born: "He is very large of his age and grows fat every day." The words were prophetic, for Taft as an adult weighed 300 pounds or more, the heaviest of any president.</blockquote><br />
<br />
And if I remember correctly, C. Montgomery Burns once made reference that his mother had an affair with Taft!<br />
<br />
As the second largest President, I think beer-drinking, cigar-chomping, gout-suffering Grover Cleveland might be worth looking into as well.<br />
