Joe Biden may be a lot of things, but truthful isn’t one of them – and this time, he really struck out.
On Friday, Biden hosted the World Series winners, the Los Angeles Dodgers, at the White House. During the visit, he told the Dodgers that he hit a 368 foot home run off the right-centerfield wall during a Congressional baseball game, the Red State reports.
He even claimed his “kids remember that.”
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.

However, here’s the problem with that odd flex. Zach Parkinson, RNC Research Director and GOP Deputy Communications Director, discovered that in 1974, Biden actually went 0-2 in the baseball game.
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

Parkinson also suggested Biden was confused about the location the dreamt-up home run occurred.
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

To no surprise, the White House declined to comment.
Three strikes, you’re out.
