SPORTS ILLUSTRATED: Team USA to Don Olympic Hockey Sweaters for WBC Finale

Team USA baseball players will honor the Olympic hockey champions in unique fashion during the final game of the World Baseball Classic. The baseball squad received game-worn jerseys from the United States hockey team that captured gold in Milan, creating a symbolic link between two American triumphs just weeks apart.

The jerseys arrived at LoanDepot Park ahead of the final game against Venezuela. Every member of the baseball roster will don the hockey sweaters during pregame activities, connecting the Milan victory with their quest for baseball supremacy.

Jack Hughes delivered the jerseys through his partnership with Fanatics. The New Jersey Devils center who scored the golden goal against Canada worked alongside Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong to coordinate the tribute that brings together two of America's biggest recent sporting moments.
