Marlins Players To Wear Patch Honoring Jose Fernandez This Season
Major League Baseball lost one if its brightest young stars last year in Jose Fernandez.
Fernandez, as well as two others, lost their lives in a boating accident off Miami Beach on Sep. 25. The former Miami Marlins pitcher was on a fast-track to superstardom, and his passing deeply saddened the sports world.
This season, Marlins players will honor their fallen teammate by wearing a No. 16 patch on their jerseys.
A touching tribute to a great person and player who was taken too soon.
