Congressional Baseball Game Highlights - Article in the Alabama Political Reporter

6/18/2018

 
When asked to share his experience on this year's game, Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL-05) explained, " On the one hand, it is truly an honor to be in Congress and play baseball in the Washington Nationals major league stadium in front of 16,000 people while raising close to a million dollars for children's charities.  On the other hand, our Republican team was outplayed fielding, batting, pitching, base running and every other phase of the game.  We are going to have to get a lot better if we are to overcome the Democrat's ace pitcher, Cedric Richmond, a former college pitcher who still has very good stuff." Rep. Brooks continued, "The highlight of the game was the first play, a grounder to a still-recovering Steve Scalise at second base, who somehow fielded it and threw the batter out to me at first base.  That one play, a year after his near death shooting injuries, was inspirational and made it all worthwhile."
 
Economic developer Nicole Jones attended the game and shared, "It was a joy to witness the comaraderie and sportsmanship on the field and in the stands of Nationals Park. Heartwarming moments of the evening included when Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA-01) took the field accompanied by David Bailey and Crystal Griner, two Capitol Police Special Agents who were also victims of the shooting last year." Nicole Jones continued, "My family and I are proud of our friend and Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL-05) for assisting a fallen comrade last year and for taking the field again this year. The entire field ran and hugged Steve Scalise, second baseman, after he threw the ball to Mo Brooks on first base, which resulted in an out after the first pitch thrown by Special Agent David Bailey. I am thankful to have had my daughter with me tonight to witness a historic game and see how folks join together to help others."
