The Capitals hooted and hollered, sprayed Champagne on each other, and did the now-famous "Baby Shark" dance to celebrate Washington's first baseball championship since the Washington Senators won 95 years ago. Captain Alex Ovechkin recorded the scene on Instagram, then received a replica championship trophy as "We are the Champions" played in the background.
