Remembering Rick Hummel: A St. Louis Legend and Beloved Cardinals Writer.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol wore a jersey during a game against the Cincinnati Reds to honor the late St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball columnist Rick "The Commish" Hummel, who passed away on Saturday. Hummel had a running joke with Marmol about wearing his full uniform and not hiding it under a hoodie. Marmol rarely wears a jersey, but he made an exception to pay tribute to Hummel, who believed managers should wear their full uniform. The Reds also had some nice gestures in the press box for Hummel and Cards radio broadcaster Mike Shannon, who recently died.

Remembering Rick Hummel: A St. Louis Legend and Baseball Icon.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol paid tribute to Hall of Fame baseball writer Rick Hummel, who recently passed away, by wearing his jersey during a game. Marmol and Hummel bonded over baseball strategy and pitch selections, and Hummel often gave Marmol grief about his aversion to bunting and not wearing his jersey. Hummel covered the Cardinals for over two decades and was a St. Louis treasure. Cardinals player Nolan Gorman won the National League's Player of the Week award, and lefty Matthew Liberatore will start over the weekend in Cleveland.
