he was wearing the armband during his postgame interview. i'm curious to know if he's the youngest ever. anyone know?
He was wearing the armband after Mathis was taken out. I guess technically he wasn't 'named' captain.
I tired looking this up on a few various sites...without much success..but I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that somewhere in some of the dark days of the nats, 1987 - 1990 when 21 year old Meola and company were trying to qualify for/playing in Italia 1990 one or more of those guys would have had the 'band and been close. Being younger than LD though, I doubt...
It was Donovan's first game as #10 (even the official box score still lists him as #21). (photo by Andy Mead/YCJ)
