Bees to honor Adenhart tonight

Published: Friday, April 10 2009 12:44 p.m. MDT

The Salt Lake Bees will honor the memory of former Bees pitcher Nick Adenhart, the Anaheim Angels rookie pitcher who was killed in a car accident early Thursday morning, by wearing a No. 32 patch on the team's jerseys for the 2009 PCL season.

The patch will debut tonight as the Bees hosts the Reno Aces in the season opener at Spring Mobile Ballpark.

Adenhart wore No. 32 during his time with the Bees in 2008. The No. 32 will also be painted on the grass immediately in front of the Bees dugout.

Prior to tonight's game, there will be a tribute video to Adenhart, followed by a moment of silence.
