Mets wear NYPD caps at batting practice to honor slain police officer

The New York Mets are wearing NYPD caps during Tuesday's batting practice to honor slain NYPD officer Brian Moore.

Moore was shot in the head while in an unmarked police car on Saturday as he tried to question a man in Queens, N.Y. He was in critical condition until he died on Monday due to his injuries.
