“On a final happy note, I observe there was a baseball game last night, really outstanding game to retire the trophy. I am pleased to say the Romping Elephants were able to bring home the victory and retire the trophy. The score was 9 to 2. Why would I bring that up in the Senate since usually it is the younger and more inexperienced House Members who play on these baseball teams? In fact, one of the stars of the game was the Senator from Nevada, John Ensign, who played a sterling game at shortstop and actually got a walk, a hit, scored a run, and I think snagged about eight balls. So it just goes to show that Senators not only are older and more experienced but also perhaps more talented.”
