Per the Capitals’ press release:
Washington Capitals head coach Bruce Boudreau, defenseman Mike Green and goaltender Cristobal Huet will take part in pregame ceremonies at the Washington Nationals-Florida Marlins game on Monday, April 7, 2008, at Nationals Park. The Capitals representatives will handle the Nationals’ “Play Ball” announcement, lineup card duties and throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Nationals battle the Marlins at 7:10 p.m.
UPDATE 11:10 a.m.: Coach Boudreau will be unable to attend tonight. However, Mike Green will be tossing the first pitch–the second ever thrown at the new ballpark. It’s a safe bet Green will receive a more positive crowd reaction than the President did on opening day.

Too bad I’ll miss it. It isn’t worth sitting through a boring baseball game to see these guys.
Damn I would love to see that.
I’m always pleased to see D.C. teams supporting each other. Does anybody know who is doing what yet?
I’ll be there, and no disrespect to Green, but why isn’t AO tossing the first pitch?
AO and Nicky already did that in previous seasons. We were at the game when Nicky threw out the pitch. It was the weekend that he came to DC and said he was going to play here this season. Had to explain to those around us who he was and why we were going nuts. Bet that will not be the case this year. Still smiling and loving this season.
