Braves, Mets wear Stoneman Douglas caps in Grapefruit League opener
The Braves and Mets wore these Stoneman Douglas High School caps in Friday’s Grapefruit League opener to honor and help raise fund for victims of the Feb. 14 shooting at the Parkland, Fla., high school.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – Braves and Mets players wore the navy and red caps of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School’s baseball team during a Grapefruit League opener Friday at Port St. Lucie.
The gesture was made by all major league teams to support students of school and community in Parkland, Fla., after a mass shooting Feb. 14 that killed 17 students and faculty members at the school. All teams wore the caps for their first spring-training games and most will sign and auction off the caps to raise money to support funds and foundations that assist victims of the shooting and their families.
