Cole Hamels Honors David Montgomery By Wearing "DPM" Patch

Cole Hamels is pitching for the Cubs tonight at Citizens Bank Park, but he’s honoring former Phillies president David Montgomery, who died in early May, by wearing a black “DPM” patch on his right sleeve.

A classy gesture, for sure:

Hamels paused briefly before his first inning warmup tosses to show off the patch to a cameraman.

After the game, Hamels discussed why he wore the patch:
