She told the Daily Caller in a statement that she reacted \u201cin the heat of the moment\u201d after hearing a remark from the Republican side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Congressional Baseball Game is one of my favorite events of the year,\u201d Sanchez said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great cause and brings both sides of the aisle\u00a0together\u00a0for a night off from partisan\u00a0politics. That is why it really struck a nerve when I heard an offensive and misogynistic comment from the Republican side on my way back to the dugout. In the heat of the moment, I reacted. I have no tolerance for men who make women feel like they are unimportant or don\u2019t belong \u2013 especially on the field. I will always stand against that kind of bigotry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Democrat Rep.
