Mourning Patch

Obviously, the Angels are wearing mourning patches to honor the memory of Nick Adenhart.  Those patches are over the players hearts, are circular, and have the number 34, along with Adenhart on them.

I noticed a second patch, however, and was not aware of its significance.

The Angels are wearing a black diamond patch on their right sleeves in honor of Preston Gomez, long time Angels advisor, scout and coach, who did in January at the age of 86.  Read the LA Times article here.  Gomez is credited with straightening out reliever Jose Arredondo.
