Jose Fernandez’s teammates honor late pitcher with mural in Brazil

Some mourners want to tell the world how they feel. Current and former Marlins teammates of pitcher Jose Fernandez, killed in a Miami Beach boating accident last month, told Brazil with graffiti art they shared with the world via Instagram.

Using the skills of noted New York-born Brazilian street artist Tito na Rua, Giancarlo Stanton, A.J. Ramos and former Marlin-current Los Angeles Angel Ricky Nolasco put a tribute to Fernandez on a Rio de Janeiro wall during offseason vacation. The mural contains the Cuban flag, Fernandez’s No. 16, his nickname “Niño,” and each player’s signature.
