The Yankees and Mets will clash on Saturday night, but come together beforehand to acknowledge the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
The two teams also joined in well before Saturday’s ceremonies, releasing a joint video on both team’s role in New York City following the tragic events on Sept. 11, 2001. The nearly 10-minute video includes interviews with Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Joe Torre, Bobby Valentine, Mike Piazza and more as the former players and coaches look back on the impact baseball had on a city’s healing.
From the 2001 World Series to Mike Piazza’s game-winning home run against the Braves at Shea Stadium, all of the unforgettable moments following baseball’s resumption are revisited, while players also look back on what it was like volunteering their help immediately following the 9/11 attacks.
Current players have begun to pay tribute ahead of the ceremony, with Kevin Pillar sporting custom cleats.
The ceremonies begin Saturday at 7 p.m.
