This morning, Philadelphia Flyers founder and chairman Ed Snider passed away after battling cancer.

Prior to this afternoon's Philadelphia Phillies home-opener against the San Diego Padres, the Phillies honored the memory of Snider by holding a moment of silence. John Clark of Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia provided an excellent video of the touching moment.
