I am sure you all know that Tim Russert passed away on Father's Day Weekend so our hearts go out to his son Luke and his wife.
Most of you knew Tim Russert from Meet The Press and appearances on NBC News Shows and Specials.
In Washington baseball, we knew Tim as a baseball guy and a big Nats fan. He will be missed!

Friend and Sunday morning news show rival Bob Schieffer of CBS recalled on MSNBC a recent story about the two. "Tim and I, in addition to being head-to-head competitors, had become very close friends, oddly enough, over the years. Tim just loved news. He loved politics most of all. It was infectious. We had seats at the Nationals ballpark. Our seats were next to each other so we saw each other a lot at the ballgames. He was a great baseball fan, but he said, 'Can you believe this campaign we're all about to cover!' I mean, he was like a kid at Christmas."
