Boudreau Finally to Take the Mound

Back in June, when the Bears were battling Manitoba for the Calder Cup, Caps coach Bruce Boudreau got in a bit of a dilemma.

You see, he was scheduled to throw the first pitch at a Nationals game in an arrangement made before the Calder Cup series was announced, but due to some unfortunate conflicts, Boudreau had to back out of the pitch since Game 5 of the Calder Cup Finals was going on at the same night.

To some relief of Boudreau, who was in the press box at Giant Center that evening, the Nationals game against the Reds was delayed by rain, not starting unitl late and taking a bit of the edge off missing his chance to take the mound at Nationals Park.

Well, now, the event has finally been rescheduled, and Boudreau is scheduled to throw the first pitch in Thursday's game against Colorado.

Fortunately, there shouldn't be any more conflicts with the Calder Cup.
