The Washington Nationals are doing okay -- and there are some fans who give a lot of credit for this to Nyjer Morgan. This was the subject of an article by Tracee Hamilton, The Washington Post -- which called attention to the fact that before Morgan joined the team, the Nats were 21st in the majors in runs scored, but since Morgan arrived they have escalated to third.
Impressive -- but what does this have to do with hockey -- and the Capitals?
Well, the connection is that Morgan loves hockey -- has since back in the days when he was a youngster watching the U.S. hockey team at the Calgary Games. He even took a stab at playing hockey before settling with the Pirates' minor-league team.
But what is particularly endearing about Morgan is his answer when asked who is the better player -- the Capitals' Alex Ovechkin or the Penguins' Sidney Crosby.
Morgan will be forgiven for diplomatically answering, "They're both good, two different players."
It is the rest of Morgan's answer that impresses!
Morgan, in continuing with his response, said, "One's more exciting than the other."
Which one?
His reply, "Ovechkin. He gives something that the fans like to see!"
Now that sounds like the correct answer, at least to Capitals and Ovi fans! Sphere: Related Content
