The Cubs wore Stoneman Douglas T-shirts during warmups in Miami on Opening Day
For the first day of Spring Training, players across baseball wore Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School caps in honor of the 17 students and faculty that lost their lives during the Feb. 14 shooting.
For their Opening Day game in Miami against the Marlins -- just a short drive down I-95 from Parkland, Fla. -- the Cubs followed in that tradition by wearing Stoneman Douglas T-shirts for batting practice:
