No, not the chimp.
Pardon me for rambling on about a song from 51 years ago.

I'm not sure whether it was immediately before George S. or whether there was someone in between. The President was Mike Burke.
CBS did a terrible job and the Yankees were in the basement most of the time CBS owned them.
I'm doing this from memory.
