WASHINGTON --Alex Ovechkin's ceremonial first pitch didn't go so well, so the Washington Capitals captain asked for a second one.
Ovechkin threw a strike to Washington National pitcher Max Scherzer on his second attempt, delighting the crowd at Nationals Park that came to see the Nationals face the San Francisco Giants on Saturday, but also celebrate the Capitals' Stanley Cup championship.
