Major League Baseball to honor Sandy Hook Victims

Major League Baseball will honor Sandy Hook victims with a moment of silence before every 2013 Opening Day.

The tribute will take place before every game played on March 31 - April 2.

Players, coaches, and team personnel will also wear patches dedicated to the 26 victims who lost their lives.

"The unimaginable tragedy that befell  Newtown, Connecticut will never be forgotten," said Commissioner Bill Selig. "Major League Baseball, all 30 clubs and baseball fans from around the country and Canada offer our deepest sympathies and our unbridled support as the community continues to heal from this heartbreaking day."

20 children and 6 adults were killed during the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that took place in December.
