NEW YORK -- The New York Mets will host the crosstown Yankees on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 next season, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press.
The clubs will play at Citi Field in a game sure to be full of emotions for the city that's also reported over 18,000 confirmed coronavirus deaths this year. The person spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity because Major League Baseball has not yet released next season's schedule.
"I can't imagine how powerful and how emotional of an event that could be," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.
