Washington Nationals to give away Alex Ovechkin 'first pitch' bobbleheads in honor of Capitals' legendary Stanley Cup celebration at Nats Park

"On Saturday, May 16, the Nationals will hand out Alex Ovechkin 'First Pitch' bobbleheads to the first 20,000 fans who attend the team's 'Beltway Series' game against the Baltimore Orioles. The bobble celebrates the Capitals' memorable Stanley Cup celebration at Nats Park on June 9, 2018, after the team won its first championship two days prior in Las Vegas."

"That special day began with Ovechkin walking out of the Nationals' dugout and hoisting the Stanley Cup in front of 37,701 cheering fans. The right-handed shooting but left-handed throwing superstar then threw out two ceremonial first pitches. (The first one was a tad high, so Ovi took a mulligan.)"

"Other memorable moments from that day include Christian Djoos wearing one of RMNB's 'Djoos is Loose' shirts; a press conference between Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, and John Carlson where the Capitals defenseman suggested Ovechkin 'was breaking;' the team singing 'We Are The Champions' and chugging beers on live TV; inviting a Capitals fan into their suite; Ovechkin bear-hugging Nationals fans and; Alex Chiasson ending up with Ovi's Nationals jersey."
