President Biden hosted the LA Dodgers, World Series champs, at the White House on Friday and recalled his own baseball glory days. The problem, however, is that one story he told may be nothing more than legend.
“I just want you to know that we have a congressional baseball game every year. In the very beginning, I used to be a center fielder and my Walter Mitty dream … Anyway, it’s a long story,” Biden began .
“My kids only remember two things that ever happened to me in my career, my boys. And they’ve met kings and queens and they’ve gone to other countries. But I played in the second Congressional baseball game at the old stadium, in the old Washington stadium,” he continued. “And I hit one off the right center field wall, bounced off the wall. I think it’s 368, or I don’t know what it is exactly now, but off the wall. And I’m rounding … anyway, to make a long story short, my kids remember that, all the rest. And guess what? Only thing I remember too. Yeah. I thought, ‘What could have been. What could have been.’”
The story was immediately fact checked by the Republican National Committee’s Zach Parkinson. In 1975, Biden was so good he “got stuck in traffic” and didn’t start
But he did make sure his press team reached out to Delaware’s Morning News to issue a correction so everyone knew he actually “played” in the game pic.twitter.com/rSJ8drCWlm — Zach Parkinson (@AZachParkinson) July 2, 2021 Biden also claimed this hit came “at the old stadium” in DC (RFK)
Except the Congressional baseball game was played at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore for Biden’s first four years in Congress
The game wasn’t played at RFK again until 2005 https://t.co/wb9n1lUTVC pic.twitter.com/LmAAvf5fO5 — Zach Parkinson (@AZachParkinson) July 2, 2021 Unsurprisingly, not the first time Biden has done something like this https://t.co/14TGszl6pa — Zach Parkinson (@AZachParkinson) July 2, 2021 Parkinson said the White House loves to defend the president in these types of stories but in this case when Politico reached out for comment, they offered none.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
