Washington Nationals second baseman and three-time MLB All-Star Daniel Murphy attended Capitals training camp Monday morning with his son three-year-old son Noah.
As the two slipped into the media area and watched the practice session from behind the glass, Murphy and his son were surprised by Capitals superstars Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom who came bearing gifts.
Noah even got his book bag signed.

Murphy asked Backstrom to sign a Caps backpack his son got. "We're going to be real fans today."
