Alex Ovechkin is now the sole face of Washington

For several years, this topic sparked a great debate. Which athlete was the bigger face in Washington? Alex Ovechkin has torn it up since entering the NHL, leading the league in goals in eight of his 14 seasons. That includes this season where he currently has 46 goals. Ovechkin has won the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s MVP three times and has scored a total of 653 goals in his career.

Bryce Harper became the biggest name in baseball before he was even drafted number one overall by the Washington Nationals in 2010. He graced the cover of Sports Illustrated as a 16-year-old.
