Thursday night inside the 9/11 Memorial Museum, the heads of various sports leagues will convene for the first time together since the horrific Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks to commemorate a special exhibit in the museum called “Comeback Season: Sports after 9/11.’’

Former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue will be there. Former NBA commissioner David Stern will be there. So, too, will current NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and Val Ackerman, who was the president of the WNBA at the time and is now the commissioner of the Big East Conference.
