(Mar. 25, 2016 23:29) — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders drew thousands of supporters to Seattle’s Safeco Field on Friday, making a final push for a decisive win over Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in Saturday’s Democratic caucuses.
Taking the microphone shortly before 8 p.m., Sanders joked he’d dreamed as a boy of being at home plate at a major-league ballpark. “But I didn’t know I would be giving a speech. I thought I would have a bat in my hand,” he said.
