After ballpark shooting, a call for civility, courage Posted: 14 Jun 2017 02:26 PM PDT Rep. Ryan Costello, shortstop on the Republican congressional baseball team, was two minutes late this morning, and so he missed his ride to a practice that turned into a shoot-out as a gunman wounded five people before he was shot and later died.
