Like the drawing on the right? I found it on the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum Facebook page and here's what they have to say about it...

On Abraham Lincoln's birthday, check out this Currier and Ives picture in the Museum collection. The picture tells the story of the 1860 Presidential election in one of the earliest known links of Politics and Baseball.

In addition to the baseball reference, it would only be appropriate on President Lincoln's birthday to post the Gettysburg Address video below.
