Thanks for posting. For those whose old computers can't do youtube (or just for folks who want to watch on tv) it is also being shown on C-SPAN. A fun tradition that obviously got more coverage due to the shooting,

You're very welcome, Albrecht.

The only problem is that there is no scoreboard.  I think it's 2 to 2 right now and just starting the third inning.  Ya have to check YT chat for the score, lol.

The announcers are hilarious, as is watching some of them "hustle" trying to steal a base, run to first, etc. Some aren't bad though, especially considering. I like how the announcers do background on next-up "A rising star in the Democratic Party, batting left, the Rep of the 43rd Congressional District of California who sits on the Commerce Committee is next up." "He actually played college ball at XYZ and is now trying to replace Dodd-Smith with his membership on the Banking Committee." Etc.

Blow out.
Final: 11-2 Democrat win. 24,959 in attendance. But a fun game to watch and not many "rules." Beer league softball and most kids' games adhere more to rules but fun.
