“I think he will go down and will enter the locker room for a minute. I had the honor and fortune of some presidents over the years, the first releases or whatever,” Boone told journalists before the game. “Then, the fact that he will be here, I am excited to be part. I don’t know how it will be, but interact with him for a few minutes, something I am waiting for.”
Security is promoted to TSA levels in Yankee Stadium, which includes sniffing dogs in the facilities. Trump was in the earliest pentagon in the day for a ceremony of September 11, less than 24 hours after the conservative activist Charlie Kirk was killed.
Boone is in his eighth season as the Yankees manager, becoming a de facto New York during his mandate. But at the time of attacks, I was with the organization of the Cincinnati reds. However, baseball sport played a vital role in bringing normal.

“Giving meaning to it already what everything meant, and now with my connection with the Yankees and knowing what the Yankees, the Mets and really baseball in general, the role that our sport played in whatever. Healing, normal, something. Something. To see that the postseason lives and seeing it from afar. Reflection day, but also a day of sport, there is some pride in the role that our sport played at that time,” Boone
Before the doors opened, Boone and the Launches Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon placed a crown on the September 11 monument in Monument Park. Boone said the gesture was “really significant.”
“Really significant. I have come to do it several times when we have been here. To go out with Gerrit and Carlos and really enjoy an incredible monument, see the pentagon and see the twin towers and the police dogs and the honest firefighters there. He hits home,” he said.

“I think you wake up, and it’s different today. A couple of years ago, we had the game in Citi Field where it was Mets-Yankees, and there was some greatness and meaning. I felt that several times in this chair on this day.”
The Yanks and Mets will play at Yankee Stadium on September 11 of next year, the 25th anniversary of the attacks.
