Subway Series Opener Honors 9/11 Anniversary Amidst Baseball Action

The New York Yankees and New York Mets commenced their Subway Series on Friday, September 11, 2026, with a pre-game ceremony commemorating the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. The solemn occasion brought together players, staff, and fans to remember the victims and honor the heroes of that tragic day.

Several Yankees players, including those born after 2001, recently visited the 9/11 Museum to deepen their understanding of the event's impact, a poignant prelude to the anniversary game. Meanwhile, other MLB teams were in action across the league, with matchups including the Reds vs. Brewers and Padres vs. Giants broadcast on Apple TV+'s "Friday Night Baseball." The Orioles faced the Blue Jays in a crucial game, while the struggling Seth Lugo was set to pitch for the Royals against the Red Sox. The Pirates' four-game winning streak was snapped by the Cubs in a lopsided 12-2 defeat.
