MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – The 17 victims of last week’s school shooting in Parkland are being honored by Major League Baseball.
The league’s teams will wear caps with the school’s initials during their spring opening games.
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School baseball coach Todd Fitz-Gerald and his sons were guests of the Houston Astros for their spring opener against the Washington Nationals on Friday. The coach said that getting a moment to stop thinking about the Valentine’s Day tragedy that left 17 people dead by getting back to the sport he loves was a relief.
In addition to the caps, the Miami Marlins put an “MSD” patch on their jerseys.
