In random Caps celebrity news, recent call-up Steve Oleksy presented NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon with a personalized Caps jersey.
I’m not quite sure why Gordon was in in the bowels of Verizon Center this evening. Maybe it’s because the Wizards play the Spurs tonight at 7 tonight. Or maybe Alex Ovechkin is ready to take his talents to Daytona Beach and, oh great, now I’m worried.
Gordon now sports the same Caps number as Aaron Volpatti, Kris Beech, and Matt Cooke!
This isn’t nearly as cool as Brad Pitt rocking the red, but a four-time champion is always welcome on this bandwagon.
Great time meeting @jeffgordonweb tonight. Glad he enjoyed the jersey and chatting with @pacesagester http://t.co/fKSfqVNfXr
