YANKEES HOLD 9/11 REMEMBRANCE WITH JETER AND 2001 PLAYERS

The New York Yankees held a ceremony at Yankee Stadium to mark the 25th anniversary of the 11 September 2001 attacks. The event included Derek Jeter and players from the Yankees' 2001 World Series team. Brielle Saracini and Sean McGuire threw out the ceremonial first pitch; both lost parents in the attacks. Singer Lee Greenwood performed at the ceremony.

The ceremony formed part of wider remembrance of the attacks across the United States on 25 September 2024. The Yankees' recognition of the anniversary reflected the significance of that period for the club and the city of New York. The attendance of survivors and those affected by the events underscored the personal connection between the team and the community it represents.
