Senator Eric Schmitt, a U.S. Senator known for his involvement in the annual congressional baseball game, has shared several posts on social media highlighting both historical and contemporary political events. His tweets range from reflections on past political figures to anticipations of upcoming sporting events involving Congress members.

On June 7, 2025, Senator Schmitt tweeted about a Q&A session where he was described as a "Congressional baseball star (and U.S. Senator)." This post highlights his dual role as both a politician and an athlete within the congressional community.

The following day, June 8, 2025, Schmitt reflected on historical events by quoting former California Governor Ronald Reagan during the 1960s riots. In his tweet, he recalled how Reagan was urged to negotiate with anarchists but responded with: "Negotiate? What is to negotiate?" This post underscores Schmitt's interest in drawing parallels between past and present political climates.

On June 9, 2025, Schmitt commented on the previous year's congressional baseball game results where Republicans triumphed over Democrats with a score of 31-11. He expressed confidence that this year’s game would yield similar results by stating: "Tune in Wednesday at 7 PM EST to watch us smoke the Democrats — again." The post serves as an invitation for followers to engage with this annual event.
