What, you may ask, does this have to do with the subject matter of this blog?
Quite a bit, actually. After all, it involves an organization that formerly employed Kentucky's junior Senator Jim Bunning, the only current member of that body about whom one can read both here and here.
The phrase "nobody's perfect" applies on Capitol Hill at least as much as it does at other places in this country. But, that's exactly what Senator Bunning was, at the late Shea Stadium, on June 21, 1964.
The message, which you may already have guessed, is: Congratulations to the Philadelphia Phillies, champions of the National League!

You could have added Ronald Regan as an honary Phillie. He played Gover Cleveland Alexander in "The Winning Team (1952). "Old Pete", as he was known, pitched the 1915 Phils to the World Series against the Red Sox. As an aside, during that Series a rookie named Babe Ruth had his first World Series at bat, as a pinch hitter.
Phils all the way!!
