“I congratulate the Republican team. They won the baseball game. I am proud of some Democrats for playing well. I will not talk bad about the other team. Sports and music bring people together. I have played in this game for many years. Republicans and Democrats played baseball together. We raised money for charity. That is good. I want Democrats to win next year.”

Presenting Congressional Baseball Game Trophy
“I thank the Democrats for their kind words about the baseball game. Our team won the game. We had many people come watch us play. We raised money for charity. I am proud of our team. We had some good players who helped us win. We have won seven games in a row. We want to keep winning next year. Some players left our team. We need to find new players to help us win. We had a good practice today. Baseball is a great game. We are happy to win the trophy again. I want to keep winning next year. The Democrats played well too. I want us to all have a good game next year. God bless everyone.”
