Elevates Senator Eric Schmitt as a heroic, standout individual performer aligned with Republican success
Schmitt is singled out with glowing language ('dazzling catch', 'bloody nose', 'impressive in the batter’s box') and given exclusive personal quotes. He is directly linked to the MVP title and personal sacrifice for victory.
“The highlight of the night was a dazzling catch in the bottom of the third inning by Sen. Eric Schmitt, who dove near the left field line on a dead run to rob Rep. Johnny Olszewski (D-Md.) of an extra-base hit. The dive left the senator with a bloody nose.”
