Yoenis Cespedes and Yasiel Puig honor Jose Fernandez by hanging his jersey in dugout
As the baseball world mourns the sudden and tragic death of Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez, players and clubs around the league are finding different ways to honor the 24-year-old, who died in a boating accident in Miami early Sunday morning.
Prior to Sunday's Mets-Phillies game in New York, Yoenis Cespedes paid tribute to the ace by taping a Fernandez Mets jersey to the wall of the team's dugout.

The tributes come from two Cuban-born stars to another, and it's a good example of how much of an impact Fernandez's loss is felt across the landscape of baseball. In addition to the dugout gestures, plenty of the game's most prominent names took to social media to express their sorrow over the tragedy.
