Since 1909 the Congressional Baseball Game has been an annual bipartisan event beloved by all and enjoyed by thousands. Members of the United States Congress from each party solidify friendships off the floor and on the field. Members usually sport the uniform of their home states and districts, and although proportional representation is not required, elected officials of many states play to win
every year. Over the last century the Congressional Baseball Game’s popularity has contributed to its evolution into a fundraiser for worthy and effective Washington, DC area charities including The Washington Literacy Center, The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington, and the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation. Starting in 2017, funds will also benefit the United States Capitol Police Memorial Fund and the Fraternal Order of Police as a show of our support and gratitude to the United States Capitol Police officers who put their lives on the line every day and especially during the Republican practice on June 14, 2017.
