The topic of this episode is, “Does the Congressional Baseball Game increase collaboration in Congress?”Each June, members of our national legislature play ball. Democrats and Republicans from the House of Representatives each field a team, practice, and then play a game. The 2026 Congressional Baseball Game is on Wednesday, June 10, at 7:05 pm EDT at Nationals Park in Washington, DC. This tradition goes back to 1909, and the proceeds are contributed to charities.More than a few Americans have scoffed at this event and groused that elected officials should be inside the Capitol doing their jobs. And sadly, the Congressional Baseball Game has been targeted by political extremists. Environmental activists ran onto the field during the 2024 game in hopes of drawing attention to their cause. They got booed, rightly. And one far left kook shot Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) and four other individuals at a practice for the game.My guest is SoRelle Wyckoff Gaynor. She is an assistant professor at the University of Virginia's Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy. She is also a faculty affiliate at the Center for Effective Lawmaking, which produces studies that entail who in Congress gets things done—and who doesn't. SoRelle recently coauthored an article on the Congressional Baseball Game titled “Playing Ball: Collaboration in the U.S. Congress.”And I would be remiss if I did not mention that Professor Gaynor is the coauthor of Congress Explained: Representation and Lawmaking in the First Branch (CQ Press) and the author of the forthcoming book, Echo Chambers: How Partisan Communication Took Over Congress (University of Chicago Press).Read the full transcript here.

Hour 1 begins on a reflective note as Chris Russell pays respects to friends and colleagues before turning his attention to baseball, previewing the Washington Nationals season opener against the Chicago Cubs later today. The conversation then shifts into expectations for the Nationals this season, with Russell arguing that while the team may struggle, they could still outperform broader media expectations and reach 70+ wins. From there, the focus expands to MLB fan experience and promotions around the league. Russell reacts to the San Francisco Giants' controversial 9-9-9 ballpark deal, where fans voiced frustration over beer portions during their Opening Day promotion. The discussion continues with the St. Louis Cardinals' $40 all-you-can-eat ticket package, and how similar fan-focused pricing and food deals could potentially be adopted at Nationals Park.

I've been thinking a lot about how money moves — and how we still talk about it as if it doesn't. It all started with a TikTok comment. Somebody asked, “When have rich people ever moved to avoid taxes?” I typed back a few examples — Eduardo Saverin to Singapore, the French actor Gérard Depardieu to Belgium, the wave of Californians to Texas — and before I knew it, I was deep in the rabbit hole of what economists call capital flight.It's the quiet migration that rewires everything. Cities still pretend they control wealth, but wealth learned how to walk. In the twentieth century, capital was heavy. Factories and banks were physical. You could trap it with paperwork. That's how we ran 90-percent tax rates in the 1950s — because money couldn't leave.Now it can. And does. The second you make the rich uncomfortable, they don't argue; they relocate. You can't run 1950s taxes in a 2025 economy. You can't play chicken with people who can teleport.Take New York right now. With Zohran Mamdani elected mayor, talk of new taxes and rent freezes is driving the same professionals who fund the city to look for exits: Westchester, Jersey, Connecticut. These aren't oligarchs — they're the $400k-a-year scaffolding that holds the budget up. Lose enough of them and the math collapses.We've turned taxation into courtship. Look at Amazon HQ2: Arlington and a dozen other cities groveling for the same HQ like contestants in an economic beauty pageant. Modern governments don't tax the rich — they audition for them.And it's not ideology. It's comfort. Make the princess-and-the-pea class uneasy and they'll hop to somewhere cooler. The same dynamic drives gentrification: mayors won't admit they want to bulldoze blight, so they build stadiums and call it “revitalization.” Nationals Park did it in D.C.; the Olympics do it every time. Prestige becomes a permit for displacement.I don't hate any of this. It's just physics. Money follows comfort, and policy either acknowledges that or dies pretending otherwise. Charity is opt-in. Tax support is opt-out. And when cities forget that, they lose the people who keep the lights on.It's not the 19th century anymore. The steam still rises from the streets, but the power that once drove it has already left the city.

Members of Congress put aside the politics and pick up the bats with the annual Congressional Baseball Game played just blocks away from the Capitol at Nationals Park. They began playing the Congressional game in 1909, in 1956 they stopped after a very hard collision at home plate, and resumed in the game in 1962. Security has been made tight over concerns of protesters over ICE raids or pro-Palestine demonstrators. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans remain very divided over cutting costs in the House passed spending bill. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Chad Pergram, Senior Congressional correspondent for FOX News and the play-by-play caller for this year's Congressional Baseball Game, who shares the latest on the path of the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' and how bipartisanship on display raises millions for charity.

"Who are these guys and where are they headed? Are the pieces they've got good enough?" The Cardinals reach the nation's capital riding a five-game winning streak, back at .500 for the first time in three weeks, and about to embark on what could be a defining three-city road trip. There to great them is a national broadcast as the Cardinals appear for the first time this season on Apple TV+'s Friday Night Baseball. Waltz will be at Nationals Park with Ryan Spillborghs and Tricia Whitaker to call the game. As he prepared for it, Waltz joined St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold for a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball recorded in Washington.  The discuss the Cardinals' winning streak coming out of a strong home stand and the curse of being stuck in the middle, which one baseball executive once called "quicksand." Waltz also describes how broadcasting baseball is evolving, not just with the new rules but with new views -- some of which only baseball, of the major professional sports, can provide the viewer. The Best Podcast in Baseball, brought to you weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is in its 13th season as one of the leading baseball podcasts and among the top-rated for Cardinals conversation.
