Who is Kelly Marcucci? Man charged after storming Yankee Stadium field during 9/11 game; video goes viral
Kelly Marcucci, 38, charged with misdemeanor for rushing onto the field at Yankee Stadium with a Palestinian flag during a 9/11 anniversary game.
On the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, a protester waving a Palestinian flag disrupted a New York Yankees game against the Mets at Yankee Stadium. The incident occurred during the seventh inning, as the United States commemorated the 25th anniversary of the tragic events. As security personnel intervened, spectators responded with chants of "USA!"
The protester was removed from the field, and the game proceeded. The Yankees had won the game 6-4, further boosting New York's playoff hopes. The stadium had previously hosted commemorative ceremonies honoring the victims and first responders. The subway series game saw performances of "God Bless the USA" and a ceremonial first pitch by those whose fathers lost their lives in the attacks.
