Congressional Democrats couldn't stop Republicans' five-year winning streak at the annual Congressional Baseball Game on Wednesday, with the GOP side beating them 13-2.
Why it matters: The games started in the early 1900s, with lawmakers sometimes competing against members of the press.
- It's been an annual red vs. blue contest since 1962. Since then, Republicans have won 38 times and Democrats have won 23 times, according to stats kept by the House.
- There has been one tie, and the game was cancelled in 2020 because of COVID-19 concerns.
Zoom in: The Congressional Sports for Charity Foundation raised a record $2.8 million for various charities this year, with over 30,000 tickets sold.
