New York Yankees and Mets scheduled to play historic game in 2021

In what is looking to be an extremely emotional game, the New York Yankees and the New York Mets, the city’s two representatives in Major League Baseball, will play next year on Sept. 11, the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 2001 that took so many lives and was printed in our memories.

According to Tim Healy of Newsday, MLB, who will release the 2021 schedule this week per reports, scheduled a touching all-New York matchup to commemorate the 20th anniversary of that fateful day in which four passenger airliners were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists and crashed into several objectives, including the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan.
