The Game has raised millions of dollars for local charities in the District of Columbia. Spectators include crowds of congressional staffers and, occasionally, even dignitaries and presidents.[1]
"I do believe that if the Democrats and the Republicans played more baseball and legislated a lot less, the country would be much better off. I am convinced the annual baseball game played by the Republicans and Democrats must be considered one of the most productive events in which the Members of Congress participate." Ron Paul September 19, 1984
Ron Paul was the star of the Congressional baseball team in the 1980s, as well as being good friends with baseball legend Nolan Ryan.
