Elected representative of the House and Senate will soon suit up for the yearly Congressional Baseball Game that comes with its own slew of traditions and peculiarities.

He joined the network in September 2007 and is based out of Washington, D.C.

Around 25,000 fans descend on the stadium to watch congressional Republicans face congressional Democrats on the diamond before a nationwide audience telecast on FS1.
