U.S. Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) hit a rare out-of-the-park home run in last night's annual Democrat vs. Republican baseball game.
The second-term lawmaker smacked the pitch from Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) at the bottom of the third inning and sent it deep to left field.
The ball ricocheted off a railing in front of the stands back onto the field, and Steube took a slow trot around the bases.
The blast happened just as President Joe Biden was greeting Steube's teammates in the dugout amid ongoing drama over the fate of two massive spending bills on Capitol Hill.
Steube is the first lawmaker to clear the fence at Nationals Park since the game moved there in 2008. He was also the GOP’s starting pitcher, working through 5 2/3 innings and 120 pitches before moving to third base.
Republican lawmakers led for most of the night and ended up winning 13-12.
