WASHINGTON -- Alex Ovechkin said his broken left foot is healing well after playing almost three full games on it last month. The Washington Capitals captain, who won his third Hart Trophy as the NHLs MVP, suffered a hairline fracture in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference quarter-finals against the New York Rangers. He did not miss any time, playing in Game 7 the next night and then at the IIHF world championship days later. "Foot is OK," Ovechkin said on a conference call Sunday morning. "Right now Im walking fine. Im gonna start playing tennis soon so Im gonna be in good shape. ... Its kind of getting better. I feel pretty good about my foot." Ovechkin kept playing because he could not make the injury worse. He knew something was wrong but said Sunday morning on a conference call that he did not have an MRI until after playing for Russia in Stockholm. "I make a blocked shot. The puck broke my foot, and I played with it," Ovechkin said. "I never asked (Capitals trainer Greg Smith) or (Dr. Benjamin Shaffer) about lets make an MRI or something. I just played the game because its the playoffs. It doesnt matter what happen. You have to be there and you have to play the best that you can." Ovechkin played all 48 regular-season and seven playoff games for the Capitals, even though general manager George McPhee said he was playing through some other injuries. "I dont know how many games I miss for all my NHL career with injury, probably like maybe 10, maybe 12," Ovechkin said. "I dont know. But I know if I can feel it and maybe get some injection and I know I can play, Im never gonna say Im not gonna play. Its not my style." The broken foot was never considered something that would keep him off the ice for training camp. Thats even less of a concern a month after the injury. Neither Ovechkin nor McPhee revealed what injuries the 27-year-old right wing was playing through.Wholesale Fake Jerseys .7 million, one-year contract, a raise of $2.2 million.

It meant even more with the Braves playing the Miami Marlins in an historic game at Fort Bragg -- where the Sgt. 1st Class Burnett is stationed with the 82nd Airborne Division.Ive been watching the Atlanta Braves play since I was 12 years old back when they were playing at Fulton-County Stadium in Atlanta, and just to see this team come out here and do this for us, its just overwhelming, the Atlanta native said Sunday. We cant be thankful enough.One of 162 regular-season games for both teams, it had much more significance as the first regular-season game of a major professional sport played on an active military installation. The Marlins won 5-2.It was just an unbelievable experience, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. Were going to take nothing but really good memories away from the night.The game capped a busy day for players and Major League Baseball officials long before the Braves and Marlins began play on a field that didnt even exist roughly four months earlier, when MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred promised a unique event in honor of the military for the Fourth of July holiday weekend.By Sunday evening, it looked the part, with soldiers mingling with players around the edge of the field during batting practice. While Marlins star Giancarlo Stanton autographed a couple of baseballs, Marlins hitting coach Barry Bonds stood a few feet away near the dugout shaking hands and posing for photos with soldiers.As the first pitch drew near, soldiers unfurled a giant American flag in the outfield for the singing of the national anthem. That was punctuated by four Army helicopters staging a low diamond-formation flyover from beyond the centerfield wall to the newly constructed press box to roars from the crowd filling the temporary bleachers around the field.They brought baseball to these soldiers, said Lt. Gen. Stephen Townsend, the commander of the sprawling U.ddddddddddddS. Army post in the sandhills of North Carolina.Bragg and MLB officials had worked since March to build the stadium on the site of an abandoned former golf course. The $5 million project was financed by MLB and the players association to create a ballpark with temporary seating holding 12,500, with a reported attendance Sunday night of 12,582.Workers laid Bermuda grass sod, followed by the field, in May. The project also included a drainage system that will remove 8 to 10 inches of water per hour. It looked like it would get a workout with rain forecast into the evening, but conditions remained dry all night.The final product was a field that players association executive director Tony Clark said looks like its been here forever. Afterward, the bleachers will be removed and the field will be converted into use for recreational play.When I got here and saw it for the first time in person, I have to say I was just blown away by the quality of the field itself, Manfred said. The playing surface, the quality of the scoreboard, just the overall feel of the facility was really beyond what I expected.Players and MLB officials also made several stops around the Army post. Players visited a parachute packing facility. Manfred, Clark and MLB chief baseball officer Joe Torre went to the Fisher House, which provides military families with housing close to loved ones during hospitalizations.During that stop, Manfred, Torre and Clark met people whose family members had used the facility. When one woman told them she didnt follow baseball all that closely and thought at least one game she attended was quite long, Torre was quick with a quip.If you have a complaint, the Hall of Famer said, pointing to Manfred, heres the commissioner of baseball.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap ' ' '
