Yankees news: Remembering September 11th
Yankees, Mets remember September 11th ahead of Subway Series opener; Michael Fulmer looks to make an impact for Yanks.
On the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, baseball played a significant role in helping New York and the nation emotionally recover. During the Subway Series game between the New York Yankees and the New York Mets at Yankee Stadium, several players from 2001 were part of the pregame remembrances. Among them, Brielle Saracini and Sean McGuire, who were both children when they lost parents in the tragedy, threw out the first pitches.
Saracini, who was only 10 years old when the attacks occurred, was invited to a game by the Yankees back in 2001 after she had written a letter to the team. She reunited with Derek Jeter and the team for Friday's game, sharing her memories of that tragic day.
