Lew Burdette and Johnny Sain, former Braves pitchers who each wore #33 during their tenures with the team, died during this past offseason.

This patch is in commemoration of Lou Burdette, a famous player who played for the Milwaukee Braves in the '40s and '50s, who died recently. Tim Hudson wears a patch in commemoration of Josh Hancock, a pitcher who played for the Cardinals, who died earlier in the year.
