ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals will wear uniform patches this season to honor the late Oscar Taveras. The rookie outfielder died last October in a car accident in his native Dominican Republic. Cardinals uniforms will feature patches with Taveras’ initials and his No. 18. Team chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. said the club also is renovating a field in Taveras’ hometown of Sosua.
