House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (http://thehill.com/people/steve-scalise) (R-La.) returned to the baseball diamond on Thursday, a year after he suffered a near-fatal gunshot wound at a Republican baseball practice.

They shouldn't be doing this. They play below high school level. It also promotes sycophancy. Do I have to admire my boss at work?

Well, its a charity -

Over the last century the Congressional Baseball Game’s popularity has contributed to its evolution into a foundation called Congressional Sports for Charity that supports worthy and effective Washington, DC area charities.
These charities include

The Washington Literacy Center,
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, and the
Washington Nationals Dream Foundation along with the
United States Capitol Police Memorial Fund in gratitude to the brave officers at the Republican practice shooting on June 14, 2017.

It is strange to see them all acting like they like each other.

Sounds like a great motto for The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington.

But would you be able to resist hitting them in the head with your fastball?
