Miami Marlins pay their respects, honor Jose Fernandez

Sep 26, 2016, 6:38 PM

The Miami Marlins and the baseball world as a whole was shocked by the sudden death of star pitcher Jose Fernandez Sunday.

One of the game’s brightest stars, the 24-year-old and two others were killed in a boat crash off Miami Beach.

Because of the tragedy, the Marlins’ Sunday game against the Atlanta Braves was cancelled, but on Monday they were back on the field to take on the New York Mets.

It was an understandably emotional evening, as everyone in a Marlins jersey was wearing a No. 16 with “Fernandez” on the back.
