Commissioner of Baseball A. Bartlett Giamatti, usually known as "Bart", also went to Yale as an undergrad, and got his PhD there, and was a professor there, and was President of Yale.
President George H. W. Bush, although not a major league player, was captain of the Yale team in 1948. There is a photo taken that year of Bush, Smoky Joe Wood, and Babe Ruth, who visited New Haven one day.
