This photograph shows members of the House of Representatives' Republican baseball team parading around the field at American League Park, the Washington ballpark that was later known as Griffith Stadium. The May 1926 date places it in an era when lawmakers often fielded teams for games that drew crowds and newspaper coverage. The Republican elephant, the party's familiar symbol, is named among the subjects, which suggests the party's identity was on display during the procession. Photographs like this one, taken by the National Photo Company, record how political rivalry and public spectacle mixed in the capital during the 1920s.
