Fox News : Congressional Baseball Game delivers SEC-level energy with 35,000 fans and $3M raised for charity

Downplays the charitable purpose of the event in favor of political rivalry

“More than 32,000 tickets were sold for the game, which raised over $3.1 million for Washington, DC-area charities.”
