WASHINGTON, DC – Last Wednesday night Congressman Ryan competed in his second Congressional Baseball Game for charity.

Ryan wore a Hudson Valley Renegades cap and West Point Army baseball jersey sporting the number “18” as he represented NY-18 at Nationals Park.

“I don’t think it’s a big secret that I’m a die-hard Yankees fan – but playing on any major league field is a pretty surreal experience,” said Congressman Pat Ryan. “I was so proud to be able to represent Hudson Valley pillars like the Renegades and, of course, my alma mater West Point. Coming together like this is so important, especially for such a great cause. I’m glad my colleagues and I could put politics aside for a night of fun – because, after all, nothing unites Americans quite like baseball.”

This year’s Congressional Baseball Game for charity sold more than 30,000 tickets, and raised a record $2.75 million for charities including the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington and the United States Capitol Police Memorial Fund. Congressman Ryan scored one of two runs for the Democrats.

Republicans coasted to a 13-2 win over the Democrats for the fifth straight year.
