Joe is at it again.
Recently, the White House hosted the Los Angeles Dodgers, during a meet and greet with players Biden said he hit a 368 foot home run during the Congressional baseball game. The story was reported by Bo Erickson from CBS News:
Peak Biden story: POTUS is now regaling the LA Dodgers at the White House with a story about him at the second Congressional baseball game when he says hit the ball 368 ft off the right-centerfield wall. “My kids remember that,” he adds.

As it turns out, none of what Biden said is true (as usual).
RNC researcher, Zach Parkinson did some digging and discovered that not only did Biden never hit a home run, he barely took part in the game, and his research caused the White House to go into panic mode.
Biden’s second Congressional baseball game would have been in 1974
Did he really hit a 368 foot shot?
No, he went 0-2 https://t.co/EXtET8orNx pic.twitter.com/TwUnAy1Zgg

In 1975, Biden was so good he “got stuck in traffic” and didn’t start
But he did make sure his press team reached out to Delaware’s Morning News to issue a correction so everyone knew he actually “played” in the game pic.twitter.com/rSJ8drCWlm

Now, if you want to believe that Joe Biden hit a “368 foot” single to center-right in the 1973 game, you can choose to believe that, but you clearly have never seen a Congressional baseball game pic.twitter.com/MyutBMofbM

Parkinson also pointed out that Biden incorrectly stated where the game was played.
Biden also claimed this hit came “at the old stadium” in DC (RFK)
Except the Congressional baseball game was played at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore for Biden’s first four years in Congress
The game wasn’t played at RFK again until 2005https://t.co/wb9n1lUTVC pic.twitter.com/LmAAvf5fO5

Parkinson also noted that this isn’t the first time Biden has fibbed about sports and that a quick blurb in Politico was Biden surrogates trying to cover the whole thing up.
Biden team loves to push back on stuff like this, so this is the equivalent of them admitting he made it uphttps://t.co/7Jbhjuzd4Q pic.twitter.com/DXR2bGcyf2
