Congressional Baseball Game at Nationals Park

The Congressional Baseball Game for Charity is a long-running exhibition baseball game between members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, first played in 1909. In recent years the annual charitable contest has been hosted at Nationals Park, where members of Congress and celebrity guests compete to raise funds for chosen charities. The event typically attracts local fans and media attention and is a documented fixture of Washington, D.C.'s civic-sports calendar.
