The Chicago White Sox will honor Northern Illinois University by wearing NIU caps during their opening spring training game next week, according to the Associated Press.

"It is our way of showing a little bit of support and understanding," Williams said of the latest tribute. "While it's a simple gesture on our part, we just want to let the NIU community know that it continues to be in our thoughts and prayers."
