Capitals players Nicklas Backstrom, Alex Semin and David Steckel were spotted sitting in the cushy Center Field Lounge at Nationals Park Sunday night. Steckel enjoyed a Miller Lite as the group mingled with the crowd and took pictures with admiring fans while supporting their fellow Washington pros. Steckel, despite his $512,500 salary, proved he’s an average Joe by taking Metro home after the game — just like the ads tell you to.
