Alex Ovechkin and Cal Ripken's Great 8 partnership
"Did you choose the number 8?" Cal Ripken asked Alex Ovechkin on Wednesday night. "Um, yeah," Ovechkin replied. "I didn't," Ripken said. "It was just given to me. Thought it worked pretty well, though." Um, yeah. For two decades, Ripken was the No. 8 in Washington sports completely defining...

Orioles ratings spiking in D.C.
