President Donald Trump announced earlier this month that he will attend the New York Yankees game against the Detroit Tigers on the 24th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
Trump has attended numerous sporting events over the years, but has not attended a baseball game during his second term.
In 2019, Trump, then in his first mandate as president, attended the 5th game of the World Series among the nationals of Washington and the Houston stars in the capital of the nation. He also attended the World Series between the Astros and Atlanta Braves in 2021, approximately one year after losing the 2020 elections against former President Joe Biden.

Trump said in 2020 that he was ready to launch the first release in a Yankees game, but never happened due to a “strong approach” in the pandemic.

Fans were also encouraged to take public transport due to street closures and add limitations on what would be allowed inside the stadium.
