outside of the umpires, i believe this post will bring 2021 memorials to a close. i had to wait for a 2022 card for this one, as the memorial that the white sox wore in remembrance of martyl reinsdorf, wife of team owner jerry reinsdorf, was added to the uniforms in july. here's a 2022 topps carlos rodon rainbow foil parallel
that shows the patch on his right sleeve.
the patch is a departure from other recent white sox patches, but that was intentional. the black oval with silver solid/dash patterned inner border surrounding silver initials "mr" was patterned after the club's 2005 world series rings - rings that mrs. reinsdorf designed.
so far i haven't heard of any clubs wearing patches like this in 2022 (the diamondbacks are wearing a patch during spring training for roland hemond), but i wouldn't be surprised to see the white sox wear one for hemond or the a's wear a ray fosse patch or the red sox do the same for jerry remy. i am hoping that the dodgers don't have a reason to wear a patch for any of their broadcasters, that's for sure!
