Yankees and Mets recognise 25th anniversary of 11 September attacks
The Yankees’ reported commemorations included visits to fire stations and the memorial, a wreath-laying and a pre-game ceremony.
The New York Yankees and New York Mets recognised the 25th anniversary of the 11 September attacks during a week of remembrance in New York.
According to a Yahoo Sports social-media roundup, the Yankees commemorated those who died throughout the week, with players visiting fire stations and the memorial.
On the anniversary itself, the Yankees reportedly placed a wreath in Monument Park, painted “NY” behind home plate and held a pre-game ceremony.
The available material does not provide specific details of the Mets’ activities. It also does not include attendance figures, quotations or independent verification of each reported Yankees action.
The commemorations formed the somber opening to a week that also included the Yankees’ Subway Series matchup and the return of Aaron Judge to the lineup after 99 days out.
