The New York Yankees and Mets commemorated the 25th anniversary of September 11 with a ceremony prior to their game at Yankee Stadium. Two individuals who lost parents in the attacks threw out ceremonial first pitches: Brielle Saracini and Sean McGuire, per reporting from multiple outlets.

MLB.com reported that the Mets partnered with 9/11 Day and hosted a meal-packing event at Citi Field as part of the commemoration. Yahoo Sports noted that the ceremony also included former Yankee Derek Jeter and players from the 2001 World Series team, along with performer Lee Greenwood.
