Catch it!
With opening day just around the corner, baseball fever is gripping D.C. politicians.
First up: Ward 5 Councilman Harry Thomas Jr., who hosted a reception Tuesday night for former stolen-base king (and Washington native) Maury Wills. Thomas and Ward 1 Councilman Jim Graham sponsored a bill last year that named the Banneker Recreation Center’s new ball field “Maury Wills Baseball Field.”
Next up: Rep. Michael Arcuri, D-N.Y., who raised some campaign dollars on Capitol Hill on Wednesday night with the assistance of Hall of Fame relief pitcher Rich “Goose” Gossage.
