Heat to wear 'MSD' uniform patches in memory of Stoneman Douglas victims; Wade speaks out for change

he Miami Heat are the latest South Florida professional sports team to wear a uniform element in memory of those slain in last week's shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland that left 17 dead.

The Heat plan to add an "MSD" patch on the shoulder area of their jerseys for the balance of the season. The hope is to have the patches ready for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans, the team's first game back from the eight-day All-Star break.

The shooting occurred in the hours before the Heat's road loss last Wednesday to the Philadelphia 76ers, with the Heat idle since.

The Heat also plan a moment of silence and tribute before Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies at AmericanAirlines Arena, their first home game since the shooting. - Sun Sentinel, Fort Lauderdale

We stand with you, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students and faculty.

Now we're starting to see tributes on a wider scale throughout baseball. Fittingly, the Miami Marlins started things by planning to wear Stoneman Douglas baseball caps during their first spring training game on Friday. It seems many other teams will be joining in. Here are the details from Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald:

A league source said players on "most, if not all" teams will wear the caps during Friday's games. As of Tuesday, more than 20 of the league's 30 teams had already requested permission to wear the caps.

That's as of Tuesday. It would be surprising if all 30 teams weren't wearing Stoneman Douglas caps on Friday.
