Tonight, the ultimate Washington sporting event is taking place — the 45th Annual Congressional Baseball Game, sponsored by Roll Call. Gates open at 6 p.m. at RFK Stadium with annual battle between Republicans and Democrats starting at 7 p.m. Rick Snider previews the matchup in today’s Examiner. No word if there will be testing for steroids or HGH.

Last year’s matchup, won 19-10 by the GOP, raised $125,000 for local charities. Tickets are available through the offices of Rep. Mike Doyle and Rep. Mike Oxley.
