On the recordJune 26, 2013
To my colleagues, tonight is a very exciting night for the women of the House, the women's softball team of the House--and the men of the House, and really all families across America--for our fifth annual women's softball team. Our game is tonight at 7 o'clock at Watkins Field. I am the cocaptain of the team with my esteemed colleague from Florida. And we have trouble agreeing on a lot of things, but I know everybody in this room today will want us to win because our opponents are the press. So I want to just briefly say thank you to everybody who's been involved in this. We've had a lot of great coaches and we've had a lot of outside help. We've had a lot of fun getting to know each other again and even better. I'd like to yield to my cocaptain who hatched this idea and have her talk a little bit about why we're doing this.
