it represents a player who died. The player was from my hometeam the Saint Louis Cardinals. He died in a car wreck because he was drunk. I forget his name but his jersey number is #33
Yeah, Josh Hancock (thanks creggz12). He died this year and the Cardinals are to wear those black and white #33 badges all season. I guess the rest of the teams are doing it too.
Nevermind. Sorry. jft_24 has this right. That link will explain it at the very bottom. Josh Hancock of the Saint Louis Cardinals are wearing #32 and the #33 is for someone else.

It is most likely for a player or coach, past or present who has recently passed away. I know the Yankees do something similar for Corey Lidle and the Cardinals for Josh Hancock.

Johnny Sain and Lew Burdette both died this winter and it was both of their numbers.
