Kelce and Cox, both franchise legends, hung up their cleats and retired this offseason. This is one of the many fitting tributes that will come for the All-Pro duo who combined to play 381 regular season games with the Birds.

Phillies fans 15 and over attending Saturday's game will receive an "Opening Night" t-shirt, too. It should be a lovely weekend in South Philadelphia.
