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:
