Even before Joe Biden lost his marbles, he lived in a fantasy world. All of the stories he tells are lies that have been thoroughly debunked and yet he insists on telling them time and time again. Todays. entry is Biden claiming to have hit home runs in Congressional baseball games as a Senator. Spoiler alert: he never hit a single home run.
The annual Congressional baseball game was last weekend and Joe Biden stopped by to jinx the democrats, who once again lost to the Republicans. To celebrate his party’s latest defeat, he sent out this deceptive tweet:
I stopped by the congressional baseball game this week to see some friends. They don’t let former Senators play – but I think I still have a few home runs in me. pic.twitter.com/onQdCV2Bqq

As absurd as the idea that a thousand-year-old mummified corpse could knock one out of the park, the real lunacy comes from Biden saying he still has a few more home runs in him. That indicates that he has has home runs in the past, which he never did.
Joe Biden has participated in exactly 3 congressional baseball games and he had exactly one hit that wasn’t a homer.
In 1973, Biden went 1 for 2 and had no RBIs and did not score, so there ain’t a home run in that game.
In 1974, Biden went 0 for 2, striking out in both plate appearances.
In 1975, Biden sucked so bad, he never got in the game.
That’s it. 3 games, 1 hit, and no homers.
Even Biden’s telling of that one hit is a lie. In July of this year, Biden hosted the World Series champs, the LA Dodgers, at the White House and of course tried to make their accomplishment all about him:
“We have a congressional baseball game every year and in the very beginning I used to be a center fielder and my wall to make dream, anyways it’s a long story,” Biden started.
Good start, Joe.
“My kids only remember two things that ever happened in my career, my boys, and they’ve met kings and queens and gone to other countries, but I played in the first, in the second congressional baseball game at the old stadium, the old Washington stadium, and I hit one off the right-center field wall, it bounced off the wall, I think it’s 368 or I don’t know exactly what is now, off the wall, and I’m rounding, anyway, to make a long story short, my kids remembered that, all the rest and guess what, only I remember too,” said Biden.
He’s right that only he remembers this because there are a lot of factually-challenged details in that story.
The first year of the Congressional baseball game was 1972 and Biden didn’t participate because he wasn’t a Senator yet. That game was played at RFK stadium in Washington D.C. The second year, Joe’s first, was played at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, not “the old Washington stadium” like Biden claims. Biden never played a game in the old Washington stadium, AKA Griffith Stadium, because it was demolished in 1965.
Also the claim that Biden got a 368-foot hit off the center field wall in any stadium is false. The center field wall at Memorial Park, where Biden got his one and only hit is 446 feet. At RFK, where the game wasn’t played, it’s 380 feet. Biden is very specific with the 368 number but it appears to be another part of his fantasy.
Biden also describes this mighty hit like it was an in-the-park homer when he starts talking about rounding the bases. No articles about that game even mention Biden’s hit, so it was most likely a blooper or an infield single.
As for his kids remembering this, his daughter Naomi died before the game took place. His second daughter, Ashley, was born in 1981, almost a decade later. Son Beau was 4 at the time and he died in 2015, so he doesn’t remember it. Son Hunter was 3 at the time and likely doesn’t remember, plus he’s such a crackhead now that he doesn’t even remember where he left his laptop.
Joe Biden likes to pretend that he’s a working class union guy even though he’s never had a working class or union job in his life. He likes to pretend he’s black, claiming he came from the back community, was raised in the black church, and went to a black college, despite he fact that he’s clearly a white suburban Catholic.
Biden also likes to pretend that he was a great athlete but there is absolutely no evidence to support that fantasy. He sure as shit never hit a home run in a Congressional baseball game, nor did he hit one off the 368-foot center field wall.
