Why the black armband?

I was watching the Yankees game on Fox Saturday and noticed the black arm band the players wore. In whose memory is it?

The New York Yankees announced today that they will honor the memory of right-handed pitcher Cory Lidle, who passed away last October 11, by wearing a black band on the left sleeve of their home and road uniforms throughout the 2007 season.

Good move by the Yanks
