Object Details

The inaugural Congressional Women’s Softball Game took pink as its signature color to emphasize its chosen charity. The match between Members and staff benefitted the Young Survival Coalition, an organization supporting women younger than age 40 diagnosed with breast cancer. The staff won, but the Members fought hard—it was widely reported the next day that team captain Debbie Wasserman-Schultz broke a leg sliding in to second base.
