Congressional Baseball Game
Location
Games were initially held at American League Park in northeast Washington, D.C., and its successor Griffith Park, which was built at the same location. In 1962, the game was moved to the new District Stadium (later known as Robert F. Kennedy [RFK] Stadium), where it remained until 1972. For the next two decades, the teams played at the Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, and Four Mile Run Park in Alexandria, Virginia. In one case, the match was relocated to Langley High School in McLean, Virginia. By 1995, the game was played the new Prince George’s County Stadium in Bowie, Maryland. Recently, the event returned to RFK Stadium, raising more than $100,000 annually for local area charities.
